Required Materials and Supplies; Technology Expectations

 

Materials and Supplies      ««

 

Students are expected to have at least one three-ring binder large enough to hold school papers and the agenda that will be given to each student at the beginning of the school year. Consider purchasing two binders, as this may better serve your needs. The binder(s) should have each of the following: paper, punched folders with pockets, dividers, and a plastic case that has holes punched so it can be placed inside the binder.

 

Students are expected to have at least three pencils, two pens, and one highlighter. Other helpful items include an eraser, pencil sharpener, colored pencils, straight edge, and some paperclips or a small, portable stapler. These items should be placed inside the plastic case.

 

Each student should also have a four- or eight-megabyte flash or “thumb” drive that connects to a USB port. This is essential in order to assure that you can work on writing and PowerPoint projects both at home and at school. Note: Student work for my students is not allowed to be stored on any school computer. In the rare event that a student wishes to leave his or her flash drive at school, I will provide a safe place for its storage.
