    • 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!   
  • If you received a lab book when you picked up your books, then you are good! I handed out lab books with graph paper. Its fine - I will give you further instruction on what to do with the lab books :)
