Learning American History through Picture Books (PART 3)
I can’t believe what a joy it has been learning American History through Picture Books. When I first started this, I wasn’t sure where it

Here is a quick timeline of events:
In 2012, I received a degree in Education and hoped to be a classroom teacher.
I married my husband and got a dream job teaching 5th grade.
In 2014 we had our first daughter, and I remember specifically stating that I could never be a stay at home mom. (Ha!) I loved my job, and I enjoyed being a working mom.

In 2020, we actually enrolled Evelyn in first grade at a school…and then the world shut down.

Simply Learning Together came to life and our son was born two months later!
