This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Benjamin completed The Good and the Beautiful’s Kindergarten Prep course at the end of March. He was so very happy to do this course.
