⁶B, page ²⁹⁸ Reading the Lesson Bag labels Supplies are organized into bags according to the text’s lesson numbers. Supplies for lesson one are contained in bag one, etc. Because many items are used for more than one activity, each label not only identifies the items in the bag but also directs you to the location of additional items that you will need.
By replacing each reusable item with its original lesson bag, the labels will direct you through the kit with ease. The labels also reveal the items that you need to provide. You will find that many activities require not only time and organization but also require items that you will need to provide.
