Whether we are doing school or having a laid-back day around the house, we are a family that reads a lot of books. We love them! Living books have a beautiful way of teaching that I have found in no other method. My children literally soak up the pages. What a joy to watch! This …
A couple of weeks ago, my girls and I studied apples. So fun – and tasty! Next week, we’ll be studying pumpkins together so I’m busy trying to get our printables together.
