Suda Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Exie, What grade are you in now? Been through 1-9 four times now, myself. Working on 10 and 12 again this year. Found that we learn a lot by reviewing with our children. Mine ask few questions now, mainly about writing English papers. Miss the old days of spelling lists sometimes.
