We loved this curriculum! My 8 year old was very interested and learned so much (and so did I!). I am thankful to Earthley for writing and providing something like this to go along with other homeschool curriculum that we use. And this isn’t just for homeschoolers, in my opinion. I think anyone would learn from this!
