Back-to-School Stuff

Supplies

To help you get ready for school, I've listed the basic supplies you'll need below:

Pencil and Pen (black/dark blue ink only; no felt tip)
Three-ringed binder (divider tabs may help)
College-ruled, loose leaf paper
Yellow highlighter

Notes on supplies:

I do not require you to keep a structured binder, but you must be organized enough to find what you need for class (homework, handouts, etc.) quickly. So if the three-ringed binder doesn't work well for you, use what works for you . . . but be organized.
For all of your work, use only black or dark blue ink (or a pencil).

Wish List

The following are items that are not required, but would greatly help us get through the year:

Tissues: Allergy and cold seasons are hard on students' noses, and they often need tissues in class.
Paper towels: To help keep the classroom clean.

I look forward to seeing you all soon! In the meantime, please email me at barhamc@rcschools.net if you have any questions.
