An app that mirrored the curriculum I was already wanting to teach my kids

Years ago a curriculum came out for this style of teaching that I strongly believed in. So glad this app was made after that model. Now all my kids have the same consistent curriculum but this app makes it even better & much more fun for us. They look forward to learning.
