Hello Everyone,
I've just put up a new page on the web site specifically for teachers to provide information about Draw On Culture and how to receive a free downloadable lesson as well as teaching guides for how to use the free lesson with students. We hope you'll pass the link along to anyone you know, in the classroom... or a homeschooler, who could benefit from this. And as always, your feedback about the web page and how (or whether) it works for you is always appreciated.
Hope you're enjoying the fall and the new school year.
Thanks, LauraRead More
