Textbooks
 * 2 through university
 * 1 Book on "Foldable" Buy online through this website: http://www.dinah.com/ (or through Amazon.com) Purchase one of the books (they start @ $19.95) Do not purchase flashcards or videos (they are cheaper). There are specific books for the content areas; science, US history, world history, math, social studies, graphs, and earth science. If the content specific ones don't appeal to you, I suggest that elementary majors purchase her "Big Books of Activites" and for Middle Level Majors to purchase the "Notebook Foldables."
