Ready, Set... May (& We're Going To Montreal)
May 1, 2012
So, so much going on this month, where to start. The school books are now closed, and we're starting a two month break from our regular learning routine (all that stuff I wrote about in this curriculum post). Celine will continue with her self-directed studies and Damien will continue to ...
