Hello, how is your morning going? Before Charlie and I begin school, we wanted to share Homeschool Resources: Science with you. Charlie is just sitting her shaking his head wondering what Orkin can teach him about Science Education when they’re a Pest Control company. Which I am also wondering. Looks like it’s time to check out this resource. Would you like to join Charlie and I in class this morning?
