October 5, 2014 by Adrienne

A few weeks ago, Matisse from Bunnies by the Bay contacted me regarding doing a review. I headed over to their website and was thrilled at the opportunity to pick something!

When a review through the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew came up for Preschoolers and Peace, I was pretty excited.

TOS Review: Essential Skills Advantage

I’ve had my older four kids, ages 5, 7, 9, and 11 working on Essential Skills Advantage as part of a review for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew.

Sterling is seven and has just begun second grade, so he’s at the bottom edge of the age group for this – he needed a bit of help, but understood the work. This is recommended for grades 1-4. When […]
