NOTEBOOK---3 ring binder of any size. You must keep a notebook!!!
All assignments go into the notebook. If you are absent, I keep a list of
all assignments on the board. It is your responsibility to make sure that
all assignments are in your notebook and that your notebook is in order
according to the list on the board. You will not do well in this class
without keeping a notebook.
Pencils-- I cannot provide pencils.
Two pieces of poster paper--one black and one blue, if possible. I will give
you plenty of notice when you need these.
Colored pencils--I have some, but it would be better if you had your own.
Glue--Again, I have some. Glue sticks are helpful.
Cotton balls--I will let you know when you will need these.
___________________________________________________________________________
I do not give much homework, but you must study to do well. I suggest that
you spend 15 minutes each day reviewing what we did in class that day.
If you choose to come to class prepared, your grade will go up!!
If you choose to study for tests, your grade will go up!!
If you choose to participate in class, your grade will go up!!!
