Pennekamp 5th Grade Supplies - '09-'10 School Year

                     necessary but recommended.

r                    store ALL of your extra desk items - no exceptions!

r       4  -  Erasable pens (blue or black ink)

Optional Supplies - but HIGHLY recommended (i.e., you will probably need them):

ð     A simple electronic spell checker with thesaurus - (the more expensive dictionary version is also fine, as

       long as it has spell check capability)

ð     Sticky notes - smallest size fine

ð     Stretchy Book covers of your choosing

If you wish to donate other supplies, please see your homeroom teacher in fall, as there will be a few inexpensive, yet specific items each teacher will need, such as paper towels, zip-lock baggies, baby wipes, Lysol wipes, paper goods, etc.
