Each week you will be provided with a material list for the following week. Materials may not always be needed.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners and parents will be provided with weekly updates for the following week. In weeks that include projects, students may need to use scissors, tape or other supplies. To ensure learner safety, it is suggested that adult guidance is provided when using materials such as scissors, tape with a metal cutter or other materials that may need supervision. The teacher will be proactive in suggesting parental guidance from week to week.
