1. Have your child bring thier notes and papers from last Sunday so that they can included it in thier scrap book.
2. Have your child arrive between 10:30 and 10:50 to choose supplies for creating thier scrap book.(They are very picky when it comes to chosing materials. We want them to benefit from the whole experience.)
