Making homeschool decisions easy
I remember little from history classes in school other than that I struggled to memorize names and dates. My first foray into history as a homeschool mom was a Revolutionary War unit study from Homeschool Share.

One of my favorite art resources is a book called Storybook Art. Inside this treasure you’ll find 100 art projects based on picture books.

We’ve already enjoyed many art projects
