Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, Carrie. I can hardly wait for the "new additions" (kind of like waiting for a new baby---lol), but I know it will be worth the wait. Take your time because the old adage, "haste makes waste" is very true. One of the things that has impressed me most with ...

Hi ladies, I thought I had replied and then it got lost in the "nether" world. I just wanted to thank everyone. I'm babysitting 3 of my 7 grandchildren tonight and one of them is a 2 year old so I must hurry and get off of here. If the other reply I typed shows up, then there will just be two. I kno...

I finally got the time to print out the sample of the Week 1 teacher guide and I also printed out the introduction. With these in hand, I'm beginning to see how the curriculum works and it looks great! It also mad...

Julie,

Thank you soooo much. I'll try to write more tomorrow, I don't have any time tonight.
