Art Supplies
I recieved the email below from a reader, but am unable to answer it since I haven’t worked in a hagwon for 8 years. If you know the answer, please leave a comment.
Can you email a list of the typical art supplies available in the Hagwon classrooms? For example, scissors, paste/glue, construction paper, crayons, markers, rubber bands, string or yarn, etc.
My guess is that most of this stuff is available, and if it isn’t it is cheap to buy at the local stationary store (I know because I buy it for my children).
