Parental Guidance
Students will use scissors, glue, and brad brads for some of the interactive elements. Parent supervision may be required. (You may also choose to use a stapler on the planet flipbook for durability.)
Supply List
We will be completing an interactive notebook. Students will need a notebook or binder to contain their work. I will be sending pages to be printed each week in order to complete the activities so you will need access to a printer. Students will need scissors, glue, colored pencils or crayons, and a brass brad (in week four). (You may also choose to use a stapler on the planet flipbook for durability.)
