Supplies and Materials

Supplies for the Class:
1.Each student will be supplied with the text The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.  This will be the book we will use to do most of our work out of and help us navigate through the complexities of the course.
2. Students must have a three ring binder to keep handouts and papers.
3. Each Student must buy two spiral notebooks for the class. If this is an economic hardship then I will workout some way to provide notebooks for those students. One notebook will be used for keeping notes and taken home daily for students to review. The second notebook will be used for writing daily journals answering discussion questions at the beginning of the day's lesson and left in the classroom.
4. Students should always come to class with a sharp pencil, or blue or black ink pen.
Optional- This class will have a lot of activities that include drawing and coloring, so it would be helpful if students brought in or had their own colored markers and or pencils.
