Parental Guidance
We will be using NearPod in this class. NearPod can be used on a different device while in class, but it is not required. When NearPod is being used, the code and link will be posted in the class for you to access. All of our art projects will be safety friendly. Your learner will not need to use any scissors.
Supply List
PDF will be in the classroom 
Markers/crayons/color pencils 
Safety Scissors 
Hand held dry erase board (can be found at the Dollar Store or Target) 
Dry Erase marker 
Folder or Binder 

Suggestion: 
It may be easier to create a daily folder for each day with the materials/worksheets already ready for your learner. You may want to also try colored coded folders for each day; example: Monday-red, Tuesday-blue, Wednesday-green and etc. I try my best each week to let you all know what we are working on each day. If you need any other tips, please let me know. I love to help all of our learners to be organized.
