Review: IXL Learning

This adaptive curriculum provides recommendations based off previous use but also allows your child the freedom to choose what will be the focus for the day. See how we are using this at the Team Kemp Academy.

Classical Music & Watercolors

Since our previous Art Appreciation posts received so much love, I thought I’d share another fun art class. We are learning about Classical Music and since each piece has a unique personality, it only made sense to add art.
