  Spesamor Acadamy — Authority: 122
  We are ending our school term with Mason-style exams. I have never done this before, and I really had no idea how it would go. Today, we did Bible and Geography, because we have basically finished those subjects, at least enough for them to answer the questions I had written. I started with Kaytie and she did very ...

  Spesamor Acadamy — Authority: 122
  Naturally, this month, we are studying the Pilgrims, Plymouth, the Mayflower and the Wampanoags. Well, I say naturally, as though I planned it that way, but, to be totally honest, I didnt really.
