  1 file available upon enrollmentThe following is a list of materials that will be used regularly throughout the course (although we will not use all of these materials every day). I will update the classroom page with any new materials that may be needed each week. Please be sure to check the classroom page weekly for updates.
Please bring the following to each class:
- dry erase surface (that you can hold up)
- dry erase marker and eraser
- copy of the Elkonin boxes (printable made available when you enroll)
- 3 small objects to use as counters (pennies, erasers, magnets, milk jug lids, etc.)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
