• 5th Grade Supply Letter 2025

August 1, 2025

Dear Fifth-Grade Students and Families:

We are very excited about the upcoming school year and the opportunity to meet and learn with you!  Fifth grade is an exciting year filled with new opportunities and responsibilities that allow students to become more independent.  Students will rotate through four core classes, one WINN or Community class, two exploratory classes, and lunch/recess daily.  Although the schedule may feel confusing at first, it becomes routine in no time!  For students to be prepared for the upcoming school year, we ask that students have the following supplies:

• 1 pair of earbuds or headphones that can be plugged into a Chromebook (no Bluetooth!) to be kept at school
• A composition notebook
• A sturdy (plastic) YELLOW homework/home communication folder.
• Pencils/erasers –lots!!
• Sneakers for PE class
• A plain white t-shirt (that will fit all school year) to paint as a class shirt

Optional Supplies/Classroom Donations:

• Spill-proof water bottle with cap
• Canisters of disinfectant wipes, paper towel rolls, and/or Disinfecting Spray
• Tissues (soft for noses!)
• Additional pencils and erasers are always appreciated!

In addition to the above supplies, please attend school daily with an independent reading book. Reading often and from various types of books has numerous benefits. It is the best way to improve vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency, which helps students become better readers, writers, and all-around stronger students. Students will often have opportunities to read at various points throughout the day. Therefore, it is important to have an independent reading book every day.

We look forward to an exciting and successful fifth-grade school year. Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation and we will see you on August 27th!

Sincerely,

The Fifth Grade Team

Mr. Beling, Mrs. Fisher, Ms. Kravitz, Ms. Smith, & Mrs. Sparks
