Year round homeschooling doesn’t have to be boring! Add some fun activities to your February lessons with these units, printables, books, and more.

This month, I’ve got a new installment of my new series called Year Round Homeschooling. Each month, I’ll share links and videos that will help you add some fun to your homeschool lessons.
