Materials Needed

Many students were sent a list of materials for the school year. Since you will be receiving information on a regular basis, I would prefer all students to have a 1 ˝ inch 3 ring binder and tab dividers for 5 sections. Label tabs as follows: Weekly Assignments, Homework, Class Notes, Tests/Quizzes, and Maps.  Research folders for special projects will be supplied.
