Make it your own! CREATING A GOOD LEARNING SPACE

Have a notebook for each class. ( any kind, can be a one subject spiral or composition) Don’t wait until the day your lessons are due to start them. Pick days that are designated for each class to complete your work. Ask for help when needed. We are in this together! STAY ORGANIZED!!
