A couple of years ago, I was visiting a friend's home and she had some RightStart posters up on her wall. I was inspired and decided to get some for myself! Having posters up on the wall is a great way for reinforcing things for your kids, especially while they're not in a math lesson!… Continue reading RightStart Math Posters
