Students and parents,

Get ready for a GREAT school year! We are going to have so much fun -- exploring, investigating, playing, and... learning.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Olsen

Supplies

Although not required, I recommend an "engineering notebook". It doesn't have to be fancy. Any notebook that has 80+ pages will work. The paper can be lined, blank, or graph. The important thing is that it is "bound" (i.e. not loose leaf paper in a binder). Students will use it to brainstorm, sketch ideas, and reflect on what they've done and plan to do.

When I sketch and journal, I use pencil, a few fine tipped colored pens... sometimes a ruler. Pen vs. pencil? Whatever works best for you. None of these items are required. Again, as long as you have a notebook to record your ideas, you are welcome to use whaever works best for you.
