Crystal Cook –
My son asked a while back to study trees, and life happened. We never were able to really dig into it. Came across this and it is great! His challenges are not even getting in his way – he understands what he reads, is able to do the notebooking page on his own, and remembers it. He enjoys it and when he sees this listed on his daily list, he actually lights up. I’m looking forward to trying other things with him!
