Ever tried scouring the internet for an online sample of a homeschool book? There is a plethora of homeschool material on the market and not a lot of local bookstores to check them out at. It is great to actually get your hands on something before you buy. Well here is a great opportunity!

My kids have been in AWANA a number of years. But currently my 2nd grader is not involved for various reasons (that aren’t worth listing here). I found a “Memory Work Notebook” from Great Commission Publications to be a nice supplement.
