About Our Sponsor
This episode is sponsored by Night Zookeeper
Thank you, Night Zookeeper, for sponsoring this episode. Learning should be fun, and the Night Zookeeper educational online program is a big hit in my house. My 9-year-old loves it. She asks to use it at least three days a week (weekends included). I can’t say I blame her; it is a very engaging language arts program with many great features. I love that it provides a safe online environment for my children. All of the shared content is reviewed by tutors to ensure their safety while in the Night Zookeeper realm. My little love creating new zoo characters and leveling them up by playing games, building accessories, and writing reports. Even my 7-year-old reluctant writer and reader thoroughly enjoys this program. It really feels more like playing than learning, and that is what this homeschooling mama needs for her favorite little lion. As a former tutor with America Reads and a five-year homeschool veteran, this is one educational tool that I highly recommend.
