Hi Sharon,
When Liann mentioned about some activities not being suitable for outdoors at certain seasons, could we just stop when we come to that section and flip to Volume 1 until the warmer seasons return? Also, do you recommend a writing guide for those of us who do not understand how to teach things such as independent clauses?
Thank you
