Target Supplies Needed on 1st Day of Class

 

Please notice the binder size; it matters. Students need a 1 1/2" binder. Anything smaller will not work. Anything bigger, and it won't fit in their book bag. Please get a 1 1/2" one. We need the sleeve on front and the clear pockets inside the front and back covers. Any color is fine, but we need those things, not a Trapper Keeper. That doesn't work for us.

Please do not open and remove the divider papers. We use them to mark our sections. But there are many different styles coming in that we can't get to work for us. The students bring in dividers with no paper inserts then we can't write on the tabs. We ask for an 8 pack because we sometimes need 6 (the 5 pack won't be enough). The students usually share their extras with other students or they just keep the extras in the back.

Students need a wide-rule spiral notebook. They cannot write small enough for college rule. We cover the front with a fun cover page, so the color does not matter. But we don't need a multiple subject one; the single subject one will be perfect.

They will keep their pencil pouch in the front of their binder, so pencil boxes won't work for us. The color of the pouch does not matter.

Please don't buy mechanical pencils. The students spend more time trying to figure out how to work them and looking for lead then they do working. Regular, #2 pencils are what we need.

The great news is they can use these materials year after year! There's no reason to buy new supplies for Target class each year. Usually students want new crayons and a new spiral notebook, but everything else can be used until they break or are leaving us for middle school.

Thank you so much!
