Parents also have the option of including additional biography reading that corresponds with the class:

Teacher Biography: My name is Robin Imse and I’ve homeschooled our four kiddos for about the last 20 years, and now I’m looking at graduating my 2nd! While my educational background is more art focused, I love history and literature, too. I spend my little spare time reading a WIDE variety of books as well as sewing and embroidery. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, but the Lord moved our family to Oklahoma in 2019 and we are so thankful to be here!
