A note about supplies: If you still need to buy black ink art pens, Ms. Lawson has brought in examples. They are about $2.50/each. If you would like to place an order so you do not have to go to the store, please let her know which size pens you would like and she will purchase them over the weekend. (Recommended sizes are 01, 03, 05, and 07/08. If you are on a tight budget, purchase at minimum a 01 and you can use the class ultra thin Sharpies as a substitute for the larger sizes.)
