Students may also do optional extension activities for each weeks mini-lesson if they wish (for example, try using a ToDo list for a week and report back how that went).
Print out the Reflection Sheet and any other handouts posted for the section that you will be participating in. Pens, pencils, paper, and something to color with are always recommended to keep on hand for my classes.
