Mrs. Hill’s 5th Graders’ Supply Lists

This list is just a little different than the one online and at the stores. If you've already purchased supplies, no worries--I will have extras! We're just trying a few new things this year, so some of the original items aren't as needed, but will work just fine.

1 plastic accordion file with button/strap closure: at least 6 files inside—preferably 8 files

Pens: blue or black (or add a little fun to it and bring a green, purple, or teal—NO RED)

1 highlighter—(we need a variety of colors, but we DO NOT need yellow)

No. 2 pencils—1 package (Mechanical is fine with me—I will provide the other kind of pencils for testing in the spring)

1 black ultra fine point Sharpie marker

1 non-spiral composition notebook

1 spiral notebook: wide ruled (one subject or preferably multi-subject)

1 pair of scissors (pointed)

1 large glue stick

1 box of tissues

1 package of index cards (for vocabulary)

2 pocket folders, for Music and PE

1 box of colored pencils

2 dry erase markers—larger size

2 packs of Post-it Notes (various sizes)

Boys: 1 package or boxes of baby wipes and one roll of paper towel

Girls: 1 four pack multicolored permanent poster markers

If you want to purchase, but not a requirement:

Pencil sharpener with closure

Crayola Markers

1 small supply box (we’re trying some new things this year with supplies so it will help keep you more organized, but not necessary)

***All things italics items were added by me if you choose—the spiral notebook and the index cards are the only italics items that are a MUST.

IMPORTANT: Saturday "Thoughtfulness"

Last minute idea: I am heading out in the morning, Saturday, July 17 to support the Bret Neylon Paralysis Foundation with Race for Recovery. Mrs. Green, a teacher at our school, has a son name Eric that recently was injured and is recovery in the hospital. Some of the proceeds of this event will benefit Eric's care. Check out www.racetorecovery.org.

The run/walk begins at 8:30 AM at Brownsburg East Middle School. I plan to arrive by 7:45 to register at Door #12, but registration begins at 6:30 and runs until 8:00. It's $25 to enter. I will be walking, not running, so if you have no other plans and want to do a "thoughtful" thing for someone in our community and with our Brown Family, please join me!


Hope to see you there!

August Celebration




We had an awesome turn out in last week at DQ to celebrate our reading and math successes this summer so far! We all decided it would be fun to meet again before school starts to "kickoff" a new year with new friends, new knowledge, and a new room!

Let's meet at Donatos in Brownsburg on Tuesday, August 10 at 12:00. They have individual pizza options with breadsticks. I will attempt to reserve the party room for that date and time. If for some reason that date does not work, I will post the new date and time here.

Hope to see you there to hear all about your amazing summer before 5th grade!

Summer Reading and Math Celebration

I would love to see everyone and hear all about your summer so far! Cory and I will be hanging out next Thursday, July 8 while Camden goes to Ms. McCammack's house for his playtime. Cory has camp at Arbuckle that morning, but we're planning to head to Dairy Queen for lunch and treats at 12:00 if anyone would like to join us!

Hope to see you on Thursday, July 8 at 12:00 at DQ to celebrate all of the accomplishments we've made so far this summer with reading and math!
