Our Homeschool Beginning

By wengvg -
It was in the mid-year of 2009 when we started homeschooling. I used the SSRW curriculum to teach my children how to read and write.

She was paying them to look after Cosette, but she did not know they were using her as a maid. One day she was fired by the foreman and she became very poor. After that, she got into a fight with one man and Javert a policeman wanted to arrest her. Jean Valjean stopped him and took Fantine to a doctor when she became ill. Fantine got worse and died , but  Jean promised...
