    I just ordered the other day and got it today. I’ve looked it over it looks wonderful.

  2. Kate Deters

    Thank you for the Thanksgiving unit. I used it in our home for 4 students that covered all three worksheet sections. You did a great job including the history of our land use, gratitude for what we have, and conserving for future generations.
