Top Ten Most Needed School Supplies

The Top Ten
Pencil

I think a pencil is the most needed school supply because, without a pencil, you couldn't use a notebook. There wouldn't be any use for an eraser, paper, a folder, binders, scissors, a pencil case, a sharpener, a textbook, etc.

Pencils are the main thing to use in school because we need them for many tasks. Most of my classes in middle school use pencils all the time. I have never been in any of my classes without having to use a pencil, even in P.E. or my outdoor class.

Pencils are critical for school. I literally had a pack of about 30 pencils, I let people borrow them, and two weeks later, they're all gone. Never making that mistake again!

Notebook

Notebooks are essential! No notes mean you can't study. If you can't study, you fail. If you fail, you don't go to college. If you don't go to college, you're not smart. If you're not smart, you can't get a job. If you can't get a job, you won't have money. If you don't have money, you will starve. If you starve, you get super skinny. If you're super skinny, you become ugly. If you're ugly, nobody will love you. If nobody loves you, you become sad. If you're sad, it soon leads to depression, and depression leads to death.

If you didn't have notebooks, you couldn't write stuff down. Then you couldn't study it, and then you'd fail.

Eraser

Well, if you don't have erasers, then you would have to pay attention.

Backpack

A backpack is VERY important because if you have to carry a whole bunch of textbooks home with your bare hands, you'll end up very tired. A backpack lets you put your stuff in it and then carry it on your back. Simple!

Make sure to get a plain, sturdy one! If it's pretty but weak, then it's useless.

Backpacks. What else will you carry your stuff in?

Paper

Paper is more important than a pencil. You could just use things like pens and crayons as substitutes.

Paper is the most used. I'm in 6th grade and I used almost 500 sheets of paper, front and back!

Of course, you need paper. Where else are you going to write? The desk?

Pen
Folder
Highlighter
Clorox Wipes
Calculator

Some teachers require their students to have a calculator. I just enjoy doing less math, honestly.

You won't understand the beauty of these things until you reach middle school.

These are just too useful in middle school.

The Newcomers

? Lunchbox

A lunchbox is the most important. If you do not eat, you do not learn.

? School Uniform

If you go to a school where you have to wear a uniform, this might as well be on the list!

The Contenders
Computer

Technology has so many things you can do, which is pretty true. In just a few taps, you can call, game, and text on your phone. Pretty cool, no?

Why do you need a textbook if you have a computer? Everything is electronic nowadays.

Sanitizer
Binders

You can put paper and homework in here. Try to find a pencil case with rings on it so you can attach it to the rings inside of your binder. Pens, glue, scissors - you can put many things in the pouch.

Try to get tabs (separators) so you can keep organized with all the homework in each class. This works best if you are in junior high or high school. Try to collect as many pencils and pens as you can because there is a high chance you might lose one or two throughout the year.

Scissors
Crayons

Crayons are good, but holy cow, colored pencils are just so good.

Markers

A lot of teachers go through these fast. They are greatly appreciated when donated.

Pencil Case

You need this to keep track of your pencils, or else you lose them!

Sharpener
Glue
Text Book

Textbooks are arguably more important than pencils. If pencils didn't exist, we could just use pens or something like that.

Ruler

I use a protractor because it has a protractor and a ruler too! Mine also has a compass, but that's not common.

I need rulers like crazy, but I do not have one. It makes me unhappy.

Planner

A planner helps you know what homework you have that night and when you have tests.

Sports Bag
Mechanical Pencil

I would put this in first place and a regular pencil in second place! These are so good!
