During the month of August, we read Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child by Anthony Esolen. If you did not find the time to read it this summer, I urge you to pick up that book and read it as we begin a new semester! [If you read just one chapter per week, you’ll […]
…continuing through Pennsylvania! State #14 of 50-States-Before-They-Graduate. For our Mid-Eastern States Itinerary click here.

Now entering…. Maryland! State #11 of 50-States-Before-They-Graduate. Check out our Mid-Eastern States Itinerary.
