Supply List
Students may want to come to class with a notebook and writing utensil to take notes. Prior to sessions, if necessary, I would ask parents to send homework assignments, projects, or other specific assignments their child might want to work on OR some information containing relevant topics and areas their child would like to focus on. This ensures that I can prepare relevant materials or craft a lesson plan prior to each session so that we make the most out of our time.
