Did not find a topic for this, so I created this.

To reduce the confusion of what blocks are under what folder as well as provide a document the teacher, volunteers and students can use to find information, I created a word document that is organized by folder.

The intention is to provide structure and reduce student frustration in  
finding blocks and what blocks the folders contain.

Hope this helps. Let me know if this is of help to others.

Wow, that looks like it was a lot of work! I’m a newbie still learning the system. This is super handy!
