This is a gentle reminder to please purchase your students sketchbooks. They must be at least 8.5x11in. You can find them at any arts and crafts store, Walmart, and even some corner drug stores. Students draw in their sketchbooks almost every day so it is extremely important. In 5th Grade, sketchbooks are part of their grade. At this point in the semester, every 5th grader should have a sketchbook. Not having one will directly affect their grade.
