This semester in Homeschool Kindergarten we are having Science twice a week. My Princess LOVES it. We've completed six lessons so far.

I mentioned before that reading and writing were not her favorite classes, science and math is. In fact, I honestly believe that students who excel in S.T.E.M. subjects - … [Read more...]
