Also seems to me to be oriented towards a MS age group rather than HS. Butbas Insaid i am completely new this so I may be misjudging material difficulty/interest levels.......Joe G</div><div><br>On Sep 1, 2014, at 4:14 PM, Pat Starns <<a href="mailto:pstarns@durango.k12.co.us">pstarns@durango.k12.co.us</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">HI Joe,<div>Did you have any luck with your request.

I am thinking it would be helpful if I had a curriculum to start with. One written specifically for ALICE3 would be best but almost anything would be better than “what I don’t have” at this point.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
