Our Homeschool Preschool {Age 3-4}

Opening Day for Bookworms and Baseball Fans
It’s baseball’s opening day! We aren’t big sportsing people in the Bookworm home. My own sportsing dialogue would sound something like this: But baseball’s opening day has a specialness about it. It screams SPRING is here! And, since I’ve found…
