Dear Future Fifth Graders,



Dear Future Fifth Graders,

September is right around the corner and it’s time to start getting ready for school! AHHHHHHH! Relax, take a deep breath…it’s going to be OK! I promise that you have an exciting year full of fun and adventure to look forward to. Below you will find a list of things that you’ll need for our first day together. If you have any questions about these items, or if you just feel like saying hello to your new teacher, please email me at hmanley@.

Welcome to 5M,

Mrs. Manley

P.S. Don’t forget to start collecting those BOX TOPS!

Every Fifth Grader MUST bring the following items on the first day of school:

1 sturdy, clearly labeled book bag

1 soft, clearly labeled pencil case (NO BOXES!)

1 portable USB “flash drive” (these can be found at Target, CVS or any office supply store)

5 marble (black & white) composition books (NO SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS)

1 wire-bound pack of at least 50 3x5 ruled index cards

1 pair of scissors

1 sturdy plastic pencil sharpener

Crayons or markers

2 chapter books for independent reading

Sweater/sweatshirt to be left at school

The upkeep of these supplies throughout the year is the responsibility of each individual student.

The items that follow will be collected from each student on the first day of school

and considered “community” items. There is NO need to label these.

4 glue sticks

4 red pens

2 highlighters

POST-IT notes (any size, any color, any shape…the more the better!)

1 box of 24 ct. (pre-sharpened would be AWESOME! ϑ) pencils

1 package EXPO dry erase markers (We use these ALL the time!)

2 boxes of tissues

1 container of wet wipes

The following items should be available at home:

dictionary thesaurus world atlas glue computer/word processor pencils/pens  crayons/markers highlighter scissors red pen

ONE LAST THING! Please start collecting special photographs, mementos and pictures of things that are ALL ABOUT YOU! We’ll be putting together writer’s notebooks in September and I want them to be SUPER SPECIAL. Bring these, as well as a baby picture, and a family picture on the first day of school. These will not be returned, so please send accordingly!

( SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER! (
