Parent Quotes about the Laundry Home Project -
"This was a GREAT project! Erik has seen the laundry process from start to finish. He has no excuse not to put a load in from time to time. He even did a load of sheets and remade the entire bed! This is a great 'life skill' to teach children now. Thanks again."
"...Great project! This is a MUST skill for real life!!"
"Thanks! Make this homework anytime!"
