I hope this post finds you having a Fantabulous Monday. I am so far and I hope it continues to be a good day. Charlie gets ready to sit down and begin his schoolwork I wanted to share with you two new Homeschooling Resources.
These Homeschool Resources: Math: RightStart Mathematics and Iditarod.com. I thought you might need help teaching math. Math has changed so much since I was in school that I need help when teaching Charlie. Which is why I will be looking into these Homeschool Resources.
I know Charlie will enjoy Iditarod a lot. I might even be able to get David to sit down and help Charlie when he is using this new website for his math assignments. ..
