Supplies for English Class

Welcome to Ms. Dorsey’s Seventh Grade Language Arts (English Class)
- Supplies Needed for Seventh Grade English Classes -
Prices for school supplies are usually at their lowest just as summer vacation is ending. Watch for deals on these items, and, if you can, pick up enough for the school year.
1. Three-ring binders (Your English binder may be used for more than one class.)
2. Dividers for the binder
3. Plenty of loose-leaf binder paper
4. A couple of 8 1/2” by 11” bound notebooks (spiral bound or pull-out) (The inexpensive 70-page notebooks work well.)
5. One or more composition books to leave in the classroom for reading responses.
6. Pencils (Be prepared to carry more than one.)
7. Pens (standard blue or blank ink for assignments) (Be prepared to carry more than one.)

It is important for each student to bring writing utensils to class every day.
You could bring gel pens, and other colored pens, but don't plan to write assignments using them.

Parents, permanent markers tend to be a nuisance item at school, so have students mark their belongings at home and leave the permanent markers there.

None of these materials are provided by the school,
and bringing required materials to class is considered part of the student’s preparation to learn.

If your family can't afford school supplies, please let the teacher know.

Optional, but helpful: colored pencils (These may be required for other classes.), a handheld pencil sharpener, a small stapler, a three-ring hole punch that fits in your 3-ring binder, sticky notes, a small bottle of hand sanitizer. In case of colds or allergies, your student may want to bring his or her own facial tissues to school, since the brand provided by the school is not the softest.
