What school stuff should I be getting?

Question

I am going into Grade Nine next year, as a few of you might know ;-) and I have no idea what to get.... My classes are (I assume I got them, since there's little choice in this Grade lol) Math, English, Science, French, Canadian Geography, Business, Gym/Health and Visual Arts. Now, last year I was in a school where you don't pick your classes or anything, you just get what you get really. Yaaay.... lol. So the whole 'needing seperate binders' thing and stuff is really odd for me. So if you could please tell me what supplies I'll need, such as locker stuff, or amounts of things, etc, would be very helpful :) Thanks.

Answer 1

Make sure you buy lots of line paper. I'm assuming you live in Canada and I think Staples (Or Business Depot) has loads of cheap back to school stuff.

-A binder for each class, 1.5 inch each with lots of line paper and grid paper for Geo/Math but still room to fit handouts and photocopies. Get some dividers, too. Folders and duotangs for reports and any scrap paper. Trust me, you'll want to be as organized as possible this year.

- Everything in your pencil case should be the same as it was in middle school. Pencils, erasers, whiteout, glue stick, etc. Make sure you get a math set (Ruler, protractor, compass, calculator) for this year though. It'll come in handy. Bring some decent quality coloured pencils (Prismacolors are my choice) for VA.

- I don't know if your middle school made you change for gym, but they will most likely in high school. Bring a change of shoes (If you don't normally wear sneakers), some shorts or track pants and a couple t-shirts. Make sure you bring deodorant.

- For your locker you may want to keep a stash of line paper and grid paper so you won't have to borrow every time you run out. Steer clear of junk in your locker though, you'll need room for textbooks and stuff.

Have fun at school!

Answer 2

I'm going to grade nine too! I'm really out of it right now (haven't been up this early in ages) but I'll try to remember all the stuff I'm gonna get. Oh by the way, don't get tons of stuff because on the first day your teachers should tell you what you need.

-Pencils,pens, colored pencils, erasers, highlighters. All that jazz.

-Paper!! And lots of it. Graph paper too.

-Notebooks. I have a couple 3 subject notebooks that are actually pretty thin along with single subject ones.

-Scissors

-White out

- A big binder, just for general stuff. With dividers.

-A couple folders

-I might get small binders for every class, but if the big binder works out I won't.

-Math stuff. (Calculator, protractor, compass, etc.)

Hmm that's not alot but I can't think of anything else. You could look around on google. "9th grade supply list" It could help with some more basics.

Oh right locker stuff.

-Magnets, a mirror, maybe some pictures. You don't want tons of stuff cause it may affect your ablility to open your locker. (My friend found that out the hard way.)
