I'd say go in with an open mind and try not to get anxious over what you may not know. Perhaps contact the school to find out what textbooks are...
Just looking to get general opinions on the program. If you use Fundations care to chime in? 1) What grade do you use it with? 2) How would you...
I'd vote desks because you can arrange them to mimic tables. With tables you are stuck with limited options. The trick is to buy some really...
When they confirmed that they received your letter of acceptance, was that via email or just verbally over the phone? Honestly, I'd contact the...

I usually make them myself. Sometimes www.worksheetworks.com is a good resource. Also I browse online and tweak what I see. Just curious for...
