MATERIALS and TEXTBOOKS

Each student will be expected to obtain and keep in order the materials for this class listed below. If anyone should have difficulty in buying/finding these items, please let your teacher know. It is expected that these materials will be obtained by Tuesday, September 2, 2008.

MATERIALS:

(Good Idea: Print out list and bring to store!)

  • 2 Pens (blue or black only)
  • 2 pencils
  • Glue stick(s)
  • Small Post-Its (the 3"x3" ones)
  • Highlighter
  • 2 Notebooks: - A SPIRAL NOTEBOOK with at least 100-200 pages (100 pages won't last the whole year, but is easier to carry. Probably best to buy two of these smaller ones throughout the year, rather than one huge, honkin' notebook to lug around!)- A SMALL 3-RING BINDER (1-inch).
  • A FlashDrive for saving/moving documents from home to school. No more, "My printer went down...." Save on the drive, bring to school, and print at school; as long as it's before class!. (256mb, 512mb, or 1gb: all can be found for under $15.00; a 2gb flashdrive costs between $16.00 and $20.00 They may also be rented from the library).
