Additional supplies:
The following is a list of supplies your student will need to have if they are taking the Space and Earth science class in the fall. These supplies need to be brought to class every week. Scissors, Glue Stick, Protractor (small clear plastic one), Ruler (12 inch size with metric and US measurements on it), Colored Pencils, Scientific Calculator (Something similar to the TI-30XA available at Walmart for under $15.00. Your student can use this for all CHASE sciences)
Also each student will need 3 glass jars similar in size to a small pickle jar (save the lids as well). These will be needed early in the second semester but you might want to start gathering them now. I am planning a fun class and am looking forward to teaching your students this fall.
Thanks Chris
