Classroom Items

Support the whole class. Teachers use these supplies throughout the year for all students. No need to label.

Understanding the Lists

5th Grade FLES

Separates personal items (that go home daily) from classroom items (shared supplies). Color-coded folders and notebooks help organize work by subject. Some classroom items are birthday donations, with colored pencils needed July through December and colored markers needed January through June.

5th Grade Immersion

Uses the same organization. Students maintain their own folders and composition notebooks for each subject area, while classroom supplies support learning across all subjects. Birthday donations follow the same schedule: colored pencils July–December, markers January–June.
