Why did you choose this?
I use Beautiful Feet for history with our large family. My children span from High School to Kinder and I thought this would be a fun, simple addition to better engage my little people.
Pairing this with Torchlight for added literature - excited to try it with my 6 and 7 year old :-)
Can teach full family
We are really excited to use this curriculum with my kindergartner.
