Mother Goose Time with Drizzle Fizzle

Mother Goose Time with Drizzle Fizzle

I found out about Mother Goose from my sons Day-school and fell instantly in love with it. I am not a huge planner so I adore box curriculum were everything you need is in one place. No fuss, no muss is my motto. So to keep track of my sons progress I started listing each curriculum theme and what was covered so at the end of the year I can go back and evaluate him and see what I might want to spend some more time going back over with him again. He did do March, Growing Gardens, as well, but it was through his day-school.
