We are so excited over here to start Winter School next week! My kids and I put together their own binders this morning and it has them ALL sorts of excited. I hope your kiddos are excited too!
Did you miss Christmas School? Are you wondering how Winter School will work?
It’s a simple way to add some FUN & intentional quality time into your homeschool days!
I put together a calendar for January – it has 15 winter/animal daily themes. If you haven’t grabbed it yet, you can scroll to the bottom of this post, drop your email, and I’ll send it over!
The day before each special day, I’ll drop a blog post right here for that day….it will be full of printables (they will be FREE but for that day only), activity ideas, themed snacks, educational video links, and more. All you need to do is print out the calendar and hang it up somewhere your kids can see it (it makes mine excited to get school done and do a fun activity together)!
You’ll also want to join our FB group here, if you haven’t already. I will always post the blog post links in this group too.
The main goal of Winter School is to help your kids get excited for their school days and to inspire a love for learning! It’s also a great way to spend some intentional time together. ❤️
