Pirates learn French.
Pirate Cowgirls learn maths. Relaxed on the couch. Cuz you can do that at home.
Boys learn fine motor skills. Good for the handwriting.
I was able to flick through Rip the Page while visiting a Soul Sister in Auckland recently, after seeing it around the home-learning blogosphere. Looks worth a crack for ALL of us to try some creative writing this year. It's good for the Mum to keep Learning It too!
