MTMM doesn't have any copying really to do ahead of time. The Map Trek maps can be copied ahead of time, or they can be done as you need them. This year, Wyatt just copies his maps as he needs them, and as he is able to do this on his own, it adds no time to my teaching day, so it's worked just fine. If you are doing the state study, it's nice to have some state info brochures on hand. The Introduction lists a website you can order this from for free. However, this can be printed via the Internet for free from various sites as needed too. The nature study has some special supplies that can easily be found at craft stores, and the nature journal is something to choose and order ahead of time - though I believe the plans gave some time to do this too. Science has a few supplies that are needed throughout the year, but they are noted by unit in the introduction very clearly. I did not get these ahead of tiime, other than the denatured alcohol, and there have been great reminders for what we need that I just jot on the grocery list and get as needed. There are not many things, but a few are perishable, like the tomato, and it just works well to get those a week ahead of time. Other than a few notebooks, binders, etc. , that's it! The introduction lays it out clearly, so that is an awesome place to look! HTH get you going too~ HTH!
