This first week has flown by! I’ve loved seeing all of your posts in our FB group! If you are wondering what you’ll need for Winter School Week #2, scroll below!
PS: Did you miss Christmas School? Are you wondering how Winter School works?
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. ❤️
Winter School Bundle PDF
Do you want to download and print EVERYTHING at once? You can grab what you’ll need for free during each special day, but you can also grab this 112-page PDF bundle instead if you don’t want to wait on me to upload everything individually! 🥰 There are few bonuses in the bundle too! If you’d like to flip through the bundle, even to just get an idea of what’s to come this month, you can watch me flip through the entire thing in this video below!
