2019 – 2020 End of Year Showcase
A couple months ago, Jacob and Sarah told me that they wanted to have an opportunity to share what they are learning and doing in school with grandparents. So we came up with this idea! We school year-round, but we do take a much lighter load during the summer. It’s worked out wonderfully for us. …
