For the year 2009-2010, I am going to try a different style of organizing. I would like the students to use folders with brads and pockets.They will need one for each 6 weeks. It would be great if they could bring the folders the first week of school. I will store the folders for them. They will Label the folders when they bring the folders to class. The students will need notebook paper for the folders. PLEASE don't buy a spiral for Texas History. We will work on many creative activities. Your child will need glue, map colors,and scissors. Thanks for you support in advance.
