Index card box
Happy Thursday to everyone! As we are now half way through our Scientific Method unit, I am asking that scholars bring/purchase one more item they will need as we progress through upcoming units, an index card box or similar container. We will be making flash cards for vocabulary and terms that will need to be memorized. We will also utilize the cards in class and I will grade for effort. The picture is an example of what I found at the dollar store. Please have this item ready by September 7, 2021. Thank you!
