Welp, this year ended on a weird note, didn't it? Yes, even though we are a homeschooling family, the end of our school year was a little different.

Even when I taught elementary school, I'd often check in our school's media center to see if we had Magic School Bus videos on the specific science topics we were studying each week. Here's what I love about them as a parent (and teacher): They're quick! Each episode falls between 24-28 minutes at the most. … [Read more...]
