Hobbies
I love reading, writing, science; working in Tinker Labs; visiting museums and libraries; and pet sitting. I own 2 cats and one horse. I am pursuing interests in equine assisted growth and learning. I love art. I'm also interested in helping you plan personal field trips, home schooling assistance. We can set goals together and design a set of lessons according to those goals or we can use school goals to create a plan.
