  • Answer:

    heyy. I just finished 8th grade with 6 As . I think people take me as a nerd O.o Ok so you need to look at your time table.(if you got it) Look at all your classes and get 8 binders for 8 subjects. I suggest not getting a binder for gym. (LOOL) Personally I got only 2 huge binders. Each binder had four subjects in it. Which I thought was kinda smart to do. 2) Erasers ,Pencils , Sticky notes , I suggest to buy a water bottle, small stapler from staples, extra staples , extra binder ( in case if your binder rips or something). A Binder divider kit. Those are always helpful You will need a good size bag. Don't get a huge bag and not a really small one. I am saying this because your going to be keeping most of your stuff in your locker. Get really cute magnets for your locker. Many girls use magnets in their lockers. Get a new wardrobe. Don't go crazy with fashion , but don't be an outcast. You will need 2 pencil cases. 2 for just in case. Whiteout ( daam you need that stuff O.o) reading book for silent reading period. it depends on your classes , but a usb stick ( I didn't get one , I emailed my work instead) Hmm.... You could get a cell phone. But they don't let you use it during class time. A good size lunch bag that can easily fit in your locker or your bag. advice: be nice to people , even when you don't mean it. You don't want to be known as a mean girl.. I suggest to get 2 BINDERS. You get tons of homework :D edit: Thanks for telling me your classes now I can help you even better. ok first of all you don't need a binder for gym. Spanish you do . Media , world studies , english , honors geometry and, science you need binders for. Again I am going to suggest putting 4 subjects into 1 binder and the other subjects into another.......So you only need 2 :) I wish you luck :)

1. When I was in 8th grade, I just used a 2-inch binder and everything fitted just fine 2. - No. 2 pencils - Mechanical pencils - Colored pencils - Pencil sharpener (hand-held with a top to collect shavings) - A large pink eraser - Ballpoint pens (Get a few red ink ones too, because some teachers have students do peer editing.) - Highlighters - Spiral-bound or composition notebooks - Loose-leaf notebook paper (Teachers can be picky about paper. Some middle schools ask that students use the college-ruled variety.) - A ruler with English and metric measurements - One 2" binder - A three-hole punch (a regular one or one that fits in a three-ring binder) - A pencil case that fits in a binder - Binder dividers (The kinds with pockets are good for loose papers.)

One inch binder for random school stuff like papers they'll give you to start out the semester, but you don't really need them for anything but rule following. Also, this'll be nice when you're going into next year and you get a bunch of papers about choosing classes. in that binder: lined paper, a folder, pencil pouch (with pencil, pens, erasers, ect.) Don't get a binder for every class. it's a pain. Once you know your teacher's ull get to know if u rly need a binder for their class or not. most classes ull only need a folder and paper. Geometry: geom set (compass, ruler, ect), notebook with graph paper (wish i'd had one), folder for random papers. Media and Gym: I haven't had those classes in 4 years so i'm thinking a folder and paper for media and u no gym stuff for gym. Language: u don't need a dictionary for spanish. chances are ur teacher will have one in class and if they don't ur spanish book probably will have a glossary. folder + paper. World Studies, English, Science: folder and paper. my science teacher got mad at a kid for not having a binder and sent them to detention once so if ur teachers want binders, get one. You should probably carry around the general binder all the time just so you have it if u need to put homework papers or something in there. having a folder for each class is much easier to carry + if u have hw a lot, carrying home a bunch of binders would suck :/

1) Well, what I did was I had a binder for every subject. In each binder, I had different areas such as "Homework, Tests/Quizzes, Reference (Notes)." For you, I would suggest binders. You do have a lot of paperwork and homework, and with binders, it's easier to manage. I would suggest a 1 1/2 inch for your binders. Furthermore, you can clip your notebooks for each calls into the binder, so you will always have everything you need. 2) Supplies: Pencils, erasers, pens (teachers like black and blue, and just incase, have a couple red), glue, ruler, whiteout, a calculator, pencil crayons and markers if you do have art, and maybe sticky notes. I would also recommend a USB stick if you have to do anything electronically. Have a wonderful year! EDIT- Pencil shapner, and paper. Oh, and a backpack to hold all your textbooks and binders.

I do a binder for every class. And at my school we are only allowed to go to our lockers before school, after school, and at lunch so I carry my morning binders in my backpack and leave the others in my locker then switch at lunch. Other things are just like pens pencils highlighters calculator paper and I get seperate paper and a notebook just in case, and colored pencils or markers are always fun when you're bored lol good luck

I would just get one binder, with separators for all 7 classes, this way you have everything you need with you all the time. No need to be scrambling to look for the lessons from the other class when you have everything in front of you. If the can't fit all in one binder, get two binders, but the less the better. You just need to be organized, which is good and having a binder will train you to get organized as well. Like when people are in their jobs they only work from one organizer so they have everything they need in front of them.

Well it depends if youre going to need a binder for every class because some teachers may want a notebook for their class or some may be ok with just a section in your binder for their class. I suggest getting a binder and maybe a notebook for now because once you enter school the teachers will most likely give you a list of what they want or you could just ask them. For school supplies get pencils, different color pens, glue stick, maybe some post its for notes or reminders, paper, ruler and a big eraser. Good luck

I'm starting 8th grade too.Get 1 binder with dividers,and folders for each of your classes.For geometry you will need a protractor,graphing paper,a compass,lots of pencils,and erasers.For science you will need color pencils,tape,and scissors.For English you might need a composition notebook,and paper.For Spanish make sure you have a Spanish English dictionary.(Don't forget to get plenty of paper.) :D

Even tho I'm going into 7th last year they gave me a list of supplies the first day of school and a due date. I organized my stuff by having a binder for every class then just going to my locker each time I needed one. I kept a folder for homework and things to bring in, but they gave me some planner folder thing where it had the date and subjects and the assignments. But a normal folder is OK just remember to write down your homework somewhere.
