I really love this companion notebook, hoping to pick up a few more. Looking forward to being able to read beautiful children’s books and have these notebooks to go along and add to our learning.
Amber Freesmeyer –
I love this Notebook about the parks and the fact it goes with the book so readily. My student enjoys the drawing and maps. This is hands-on, which brings her great joy as well as she can do it on her own as she desires. Thank you. Update: We added National Parks-opoly board game to use with this.
