My Sample Curriculum (September)


Here is a one-month sample of what we're doing.  Unless you have the book, you may not understand all I'm talking about.  Maybe this will entice you to get the book.  :)  And no, Clare has no idea that I'm blogging about this, as in, she didn't pay me to write this.  Ha!
