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).

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).
