  • good morning! Welcome back to distance learning. I am hoping that you can get some supplies for science this year: 
    • A marbled patterned 70 page composition lab book. It can be of any color, wide or college ruled. Do not get a spiral notebook - these do not last throughout the whole year.  
    • Scotch tape or glue sticks (not Elmers glue)
    • a ruler, pencil, and if you can get a small set of colored pencils - cool. 
  • This is a very challenging time, but we will start slow and steady. You will need to be on time to our online classes. 
  • Looking forward to seeing you on Aug 25!   ​
