Worksheets

*note: In case you are wondering, “weren’t their way more PDFs available here before? Where’d they all go?”…

I have since relocated many of these PDFs to lesson videos directly, where applicable. Make sure to check the text description for each video. Keep an eye out for ‘>>REFERENCE PDF<<‘.

That will be a link to open the corresponding PDF in a new window (feel free to download it for future reference). Hopefully this streamlines the experience for everybody!
