Supplies Needed

The photo shows a Five Star composition book, hard cover, non-perforated. It is my favorite, of the several types I have tried. But, they are not easy to find. This year I had to order them online for about $6. They also make a poly cover one that sells for about $2.50 at Walmart. Mead Five Star is durable, and will most likely hold up all year long.
Any composition book should work, but I would not recommend a spiral notebook, or any other type of perforated notebook.
Supplies Needed for IPC: We have always shared scissors, glue, calculators, pens, sharpeners, staplers, etc. Due to the COVID-19 virus, and our attempt to prevent cross-contamination, it is very important that each student have their own supplies this year, kept in their backpack.
personal scissors
#2 pencils
erasers
handheld pencil sharpener
composition book - must not be a spiral notebook
folder - to keep graded papers in
highlighters - various colors
map pencils
calculator - simple, inexpensive (+, -, x, /)
2 bottles of Elmer's glue
2 roll of paper towels - TURN IN
optional - clear Scotch tape
optional - mini personal stapler
