Students will need pencils, colored pencils/ crayons, erasers, and a writing notebook/ journal/ paper. If students would like feedback they will need to have some way to submit their writing to the teacher [a way to take pictures, scan, or type]. Students will also be able to print optional resources/ curriculum that I will create to support the theme of each week's class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
