Using The Dry Desert Writing Practice Worksheets There are several ways you can utilize these …
This semester, I’m tweaking our schedule a bit so we’ll have more time for literature-based unit studies. During my planning time prior to this semester, I had the opportunity to spend several hours at our local homeschool store, poring through different curricula that use this method.
