The books and supplies needed for this course are:
Some Basic Supplies
For almost all classes, your student will need the following:
- pens
- pencils
- lined paper
- a binder/and or folders to keep things in
- composition books
- a Book of Centuries (If you can get this one, I recommend it, it is beautiful! A cheaper option, and a bit easier to carry to class is this one.)
- a Commonplace Book, or, a nice looking journal that the student may wish to keep for many years
