I think PilotMedic already answered you...just my $.02:

1) Bring your Red folder with all the SIM lessons in it. In the back of the binder are all the charts you'll need. You have the option to use your own charts if you want. If you use your own charts, you'll have less clutter in the flightdeck.
2) Bring your gray Systems book that you got from Bombardier and don't stop reading it.
3) Bring your orange POM (the little one).
4) You might want your FOM, but you can live without it.
5) You may have received a couple booklets with your Bombardier kit...one is a "Regional Jet Flight Deck" which is nice for quick lookups and the other is a "Abbreviations and Acronyms"...I would definitely bring that as I used mine often.
6) Your logbook is a good thing to bring along if you want to log the SIM time.
7) Bring your flightdeck mock-up poster.
8) Bring your orange training folder and ensure that you also bring all of your essential documents (i.e. passport, ID, FAA license, medical, etc...)

You don't need anything else really. During your SIM sessions, your instructor will bring a bag containing the speed cards, emergency checklists, and TOLD cards. If you need to stock up on normal checklists, they have them too.

Last bit of advice...don't check the bag that carries your manuals (the contents I listed above). Denver is notorious for lost luggage...they lost all 3 of my bags going out there; which I recovered 4 hours later....and they lost my Purdy Neat bag on the way back to Minny (mailed to me 5 days later).
