Our homeschool life
I really like the Classical idea of teaching kids Latin and so we are using Latin for Children A from Classical Academic Press. We have everything including the workbook, the activity book, the DVDs and CD, and the history reader. Cameron joins us for the vocabulary and chants. We do not do […]
