Material
IMPORTANT – The list provided is a general guide; bring materials you already have at home. As the first day approaches, I will send an email with specific instructions on the materials we will need for that day. Please note that space is limited, so there’s no need to bring all the materials at once.
NOTE: $15.00 of your material fee goes to pay for the classroom space and to support the Friendly House. The other $8.00 is for class materials and teacher’s demos.
