The list for back to school for 5th grade arrived when I was away at sleep away camp. My mom waited for me to come home because she knew that shopping for office supplies at Staples is my favorite thing to do in the world.
PERSONAL SCHOOL SUPPLIES:
* 2 bound lined composition notebook (not spiral) for reading journals
* Post-Its – Medium Sized
* 2 – 1 1/2” 3-ring binders with 5 dividers for each binder (No TrapperKeepers please) preferably the Staples brand “Better” binders
* $7.00 for a subscription to Storyworks
Pencils
I tried them all but these sharpen the best.
OPTIONAL CLASS/SHARED SCHOOL SUPPLIES:
* Tissues
* Sanitizing Wipes
My teachers like these wipes because it kills the germs.
* Paper towels
My parents by Bounty at Costco.
Bounty Basic Paper Towels, $18
* Markers Dry-erase markers
Expo, 16 markers for $15 and these don’t smell funny.
I also need …
Lunch Box
Lunch Box by Built because my friend Helena had one last year.
Backpack
I need a new backpack because my old one is too small. I want a North Face backpack like my sister has.









This is a very cool list! We’ve been trying to figure out which pencils to buy, because it seems like they all break in the sharpeners. Do you have a favorite sharpener?
