A thumbs up from Mrs. Good-Michaud’s class on  the DVD “Ancient Aztec Empire”.

The kids liked it so much they were asking for the sequal: ” Ancient Aztec: The Fall”.  We don’t have it in our library, but it’s already on the list of items to be ordered.  Thanks Mrs. Good-Michaud for the great feedback!
