What I Think I'll Need for High School, Supply-Wise

I did a post based on my middle school supplies, but then I realized it was a little bit redundant. So, I'll list what I was told I needed for this year, and then what I THINK I'll need for next year. Once I get the actual supply list I'll do another post, but until then, this is just what I think.

Middle School:

• 1 medium-sized three-ring binder 
• 8 spiral notebooks 
• 8 pocket folders 
• 2 packages loose-leaf paper (college or wide rule) 
• 12 blue or black ball-point pens (No gel pens, please) 
• 12 pencils 
• 1 package of markers 
• 1 package of colored pencils 
• 1 protractor 
• 1 compass 
• 2-4 highlighters 
• 1 large box of Kleenex 
•  Shorts, t-shirt, and tennis shoes for P.E. 

High School:

• 16 spiral notebooks
• 8 pocket folders
• 5 packages loose-leaf paper
• 12 blue or black ball-point pens
• 36 pencils
• 1 package of markers
• 1 package of colored pencils
• 3 highlighters
• 2 boxes of Kleenex

As always, if you have any post requests, just leave a comment down below, and tell your friends about this blog too! My goal is for this to be the go-to website 8th or 9th graders look at when they start high school. It's a tough transition, and as Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Taylor, Martha, Zeke, and Martha proved, "We're all in this together!"

Supply List: What I Was Told vs. What I Actually Used

THIS IS FOR EIGHTH GRADE I COULDN'T FIND A HIGH SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO SO DEAL WITH IT

What I Was Told I Needed:

• 1 medium-sized three-ring binder 
• 8 spiral notebooks 
• 8 pocket folders 
• 2 packages loose-leaf paper (college or wide rule) 
• 12 blue or black ball-point pens (No gel pens, please) 
• 12 pencils 
• 1 package of markers 
• 1 package of colored pencils 
• 1 protractor 
• 1 compass 
• 2-4 highlighters 
• 1 large box of Kleenex 
•  Shorts, t-shirt, and tennis shoes for P.E. 

What I Actually Used: 

• About 4 notebooks 
• About 6 folders
• About 4 packages of loose leaf paper (I used loose leaf more than notebooks because it's less bulky)
• About 6 pens (but I lost a bunch)
• Like 20 pencils (Always buy more. Always. I recommend buying about 40 and leaving 20 at home for later in the year.)
• 1 package of colored pencils, but like twice.
• 2 highlighters
• About 5 boxes of Kleenex (you can never have too many in a school)
• Gym clothes (As needed)

Hope this helps! I'll post my high school supply list when I get it, but I don't know how long it'll be until I do.
