Ms. Walsh's 6th Grade Math

REQUIRED FOR EACH AND EVERY CLASS PERIOD

1. Folder or binder for math homework and handouts. Any type acceptable. Just choose the type your child wants to lug around. (Students are required to keep and save all work completed.)

2. Pencils and PLENTY OF THEM, especially prior to any exams, No. 2 pencils are desperately needed. Sharpen at home as much as possible.

3. Pens (in any color that is NOT blue for grading their own work).

4. Lined Paper-a whole slew of it. (Your child will probably be borrowing paper from others at some point.)

5. At your own discretion:GermX or something like it. Not all bathrooms have soap. Even when I am told to my face that the bathrooms have soap, I am smart enough to realize when I press the soap dispenser and no soap comes out-often, that there is no soap. Individual sizes of a hand sanitizer will help your child stay germ free. I buy them for my own children based on my own experience at several schools in the district.

5. One dry erase marker for their desktop whiteboard

6. One old CLEAN mismatched sock, or something to wipe off the desktop whiteboard.

NEEDED-BUT DON’T BRING UNTIL ASKED TO DO SO

5. Compass (Do NOT bring to school until asked!)

6. Protractor (Do NOT bring to school until asked!) The best protractors are small and clear with lines that extend from horizontal line on bottom like rays of sunshine to the circumference of the half-circle edge.

7. Ruler (Do NOT bring to school until asked!) Clear is best.

GREATLY APPRECIATED

8. Kleenex (will take all you are willing to give)

9. Dry erase markers for the teacher

10. Copy paper (any color- will use as much as you can provide-for math handouts, progress reports, exams, parent information letters). If you have a child in 7th grade, Mr. Rivero will use no less than one ream per child throughout the year and perhaps more.

11. Extra pencils and pens. (No matter how many I buy, they all disappear in one day!)

12. Germ-X or something like it. This year, for the first time, our district provided us with two bottles of this. It’s gone now. A parent also contributed some, and I’ve purchased some too; for anyone to use who feels they should or just plain would like to.

Thank you parents, students, and families who have made contributions of kleenex, dry erase markers, paper, and GermX. I know it’s a financial burden to help, especially in these times, and I so appreciate your contributions to our classroom. Thank you. Even if all you do is keep your own child supplied with all that they need, that is a big thing to do, and a tremendous help and contribution that helps everyone.
