Supplies for 2023-24 Initially I requested a binder, given that students wish to keep their ELA work in class, a 3-prong folder will also work.
Subject dividers (4) Notebook paper pencils (more than one!) colored pencils OPTIONAL Clorox wipes to donate to class packs of college ruled notebook paper
Join Quizlet! This is needed for weekly vocabulary homework and studying: https://quizlet.com/join/bx4p5nNuF Cell Phones Cell phones are not allowed in the Realm during instructional time... not even in your pocket. Though technology is a useful tool, cell phones in class create more distraction than help. DRMS's cell phone policy prohibits cell phone use any time during the school day. Phones are to be powered off and kept in backpacks or in our classroom device depot.
Quote of the Week: "It's 'before' not 'B4'. You speak English, not bingo."
