Needed Notebooks & Optional Supplies

This year, each student will need a composition notebook. It needs to have the graph paper in it, not regular composition lines. They formerly called these Quad Ruled, but I saw some at Staples yesterday and they have changed the name to Graph Ruled or Grid Ruled. It doesn't matter what the cover looks like, because students will be making their own covers the first week of school.

I suggested in the letter that each student bring in TWO of these notebooks. We will use one per semester and I will keep the second notebook in storage with their name on it, so that they have it for second semester (or if they lose their first one and need a backup).


Staples currently has these notebooks for 1.99. You may be able to find a better deal. I did not see these notebooks at Wal Mart. If finding/purchasing these notebooks is not possible for you, just send me a note or e-mail and I will have your student covered. I just know that I do not have the funds to provide 60+ students with 2 notebooks each ($240), so I was hoping parents could help out with this. These notebooks are also available at the school store (The Spot) once school starts, but will be wither $1.50 or $2.00 and supplies are limited.

No other supplies are needed for my class by the individual student. You will see in my mailed out letter, that I included a list of supplies that my classes need to create their student notebooks on a daily basis. If any parents are able to help out by picking up any of these supplies, it will be very helpful as well.
- Glue sticks
- Reams (500 sheets) of COLORED copy paper (light or bright colors) - $8 at Staples
- Colored Pencils
- Regular wood pencils

Recycle Races 2010

Here is the final race tournament video from May 2010 Recycle Races. Can't wait until next April for Recycle Races 2011.

NEW students, this is a special project that all of my math classes do at the end of the semester. You get to build a race car out of recycled material and we race daily, as we apply various math concepts learned over the semester.
