Hello all! Well, cold January is behind us and I think I am finally out of "hibernation". To get back on track with our blog, you will find the Usborne Quicklinks below for three weeks! These are great for students to access outside of class for fun videos and such about what we have learned in Science and History. These are available only for the Usborne books we use. Reminder: we use Usborne AND other books, so that is why there aren't always links for what we are learning in a subject.
