I love giving gifts that are fun, will get used frequently, and happen to also be educational. I scour the internet looking for just the right things for every kiddo in my life that they will love but will also be something they can learn from. Today I am sharing all of that knowledge with…
Every December in our homeschool we press pause on all of our traditional curriculum. We start what I like to call Christmas School. For us Christmas School normally consists of more relaxed, fun learning together as a family. Each year my plan changes a bit but for the most part Christmas School consists of five…
