I thought I would post an update on our homeschooling and some of the fun things we’ve been learning lately. We just finished studying about sound in science and did several fun experiments. Science is Drama Queen’s favorite subject and experiments make her giddy with excitement! I’ve been trying very hard to make school more [...]
