There are four days left of our Valentine School (aka “Love Is…” unit study)!
Unfortunately, we’ve missed this last week because our whole house got hit HARD with the stomach flu! Lots of sleepless nights…and then one of my poor kids threw up so many times in one night (19 to be exact!) that I had to take him into the ER. It was AWFUL!
So, if you were looking for this post earlier in the weekend, I’m so sorry for how late it is! Everything just got pushed to the back burner so I could take care of us all and try to get through all the nastiness. 🤢
However, here is to the start of feeling better and still finishing this month out strong! If you need a quick glance at what you’ll need to finish out the month, keep on scrolling below.
Are you new?
Did you just now stumble across Valentine School? Are you wondering how this all works?
It’s a simple way to add some FUN & intentional quality time into your homeschool days! I put together a calendar for February – it has 14 daily themes based on how we can love others. 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.
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 Valentine 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. ❤️
Valentine School Bundle PDF
Do you want to download and print EVERYTHING at once? You can grab this 102-page activity PDF bundle if you don’t want to wait on me to upload everything individually! 🥰 There are few bonuses in the bundle too, including the chance for your kids to enter a Valentine School giveaway at the end of the month!
You can also use this bundle ANY month (just skip over the Valentine Party Day), if you’d just like to use it as a 1st Corinthians 13, character education or SEL (social-emotional learning) unit study. There is a dateless calendar option in the bundle for this purpose!
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!
