Homeschooling with The Amazing Race! Episode 19 (9/30/12)

posted in: Podcast | 1

In Feb 2013, I created a country report printable to use with my kids, along with The Amazing Race (discussed briefly in the first 15 min of ep 27 and 28,). It has been updated and improved upon a couple of times since then…and is now available for sale on my website: http://homeschoolrealm.com/shop/
Beckie and I have also started a Homeschooling with The Amazing Race Facebook group, for sharing ideas! Come join us!
