Hey everyone,
Can someone please tell me what size paper (9 by 12 or 11 by 15?) I need for CTC & how much paper I need to last me the whole year with 1 student?
I see you need 140lb. but I don't see any other info in the sample of the guide.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Thanks!
Georgette

The paper is for Watercolors and we went through two pads which I purchased from a craft supply store. I bought the 9x12 size and that was great. We went through more paper than necessary because I 'painted' too. It was fun for dd for me to paint along side her at the beginning as she was not thoroughly confident about what she was doing, but by the end of last year she was pretty independent.
I hope this helps! Have fun with CTC.

I just flipped thru my TM and it looks like there are 35 weeks in CTC and you paint every week except for 8 weeks that you are memorizing so that means you "need" 27 sheets of paper for the year

. One sheet per week except for the memorization weeks.
