Thank you so much, We just started BYL And I KNEW We had seen shows that would tie in but I couldn’t think what episodes and such. This is such a help to a busy first time homeschooler!!!
I’m so happy I could help!
Thank you so much for putting this together! I was just thinking how I know there are so many movies or educational tv shows that would be fitting to mix in with school work but where to even start to figure out which episodes and all that. This is perfect! Thank you <3
I’m so glad I could help!
