Requirements: Students will need a notebook/folder; an agenda; a pen and a pencil.
A silent reading book or other material must be brought to class daily in case of technical difficulties.
Assignments: Assignments include daily typing lessons each line must be typed three times for credit, worksheets, puzzles, vocabulary etc. Assignments MUST include a full heading at the top of the paper including: First and Last Name, date, period, class, teacher, assignment (including Lesson number and line).
