Hello, The archimedes link for notebooking pages and copywork is redirecting to healthcare.com.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment! It’s soooo appreciated! I’ve fixed the links! 🙂
Hi, the video for the What Floats in a Moat book doesn’t seem to be working
Thank you so much for letting us know! I’ve found a replacement. 🙂
It looks like the link isn’t working again.
Thanks!! I replaced the link. 🙂
Hi Jennifer. The link for What floats in a Moat is no longer working.
I just checked it, and it’s working now. 🙂 Maybe there was a temporary internet glitch. Thank you so much for letting us know, so we could check it! Please don’t be shy in the future if you run into any other issues. We so appreciate you!
Hello! The note booking pages for archimedes are not working. Thank you!
Thank you SO much for letting us know! I was able to get the link for the notebooking pages to come up just fine. Try using a different browser. It’s also possible there was a temporary glitch on the destintation website, but everything is working now. 🙂 Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you run into any other issues!
I’m seeing that the time line pages were added as a resource, but I’m not sure where that is.
