Write Shop Junior Book D~TOS Crew Review

Monday, May 21st, 2012

This was a fun curriculum for me to review. At first, I wasn’t sure that James would enjoy it–the graphics and some of the ideas appear to be a bit young. However, I like their point that school doesn’t have to be “tear inducing” in order to be effective. We reviewed Write Shop Junior book [...]
