Welcome to January Calendar School! These free January holiday homeschooling resources will help keep your kids engaged and learning all month long.
Sometimes we all need a break from the norm. That’s what encouraged me to look for fun activities to do with my children every month.
There is always a way to make learning fun, we just have to think outside of the box sometimes.
Through Calendar School, here at Year Round Homeschooling, you’ll find links to free resources for holiday homeschooling each month of the year.
