September 2019

Math 6

Students should have a two inch binder (or an inch and a half).  A Hilroy notebook (larger) will be used for notes and homework. Graph paper that we will keep in the class.   Students will also need a duo tang that we will use as a portfolio for our marked work.   We will be working on organization this year and as such students will need a pen, pencil, highlighter and eraser.   A calculator and math set will also be needed.  

 

We often use our white board desks, so students may want to have some whiteboard markers.

 

Science 6

For the class that you have with me once a week we will use a small Hilroy notebook.  (small 80 page type). 

 

For the students in the 6/7 split class, they will need the items listed above but will also need an extra HilRoy notebook for Science.
