We’ve all been there. The weather turns. The last leaves fall. The days become shorter and darker as we linger around the winter solstice. Here is a gentle reminder that winter can be both a place where we gravitate toward comfort and warmth as well as an opportunity to pause and appreciate all this season has to share. It is both the ending of one seasonal cycle as well as the beginning of another.
We have settled into a rhythm and have decided to continue down this current path for the time being. While I look forward to the day all three children are jumping on the bus in the morning to be with their friends and to learn from the incredible teachers in our district, for right now, this is working well for our family. I wanted to share some of my favorite homeschool resources with you and a basic rundown of what curriculum program I’ve created for my children:
This year, the kids and I have a goal of spending 1000 hours outside! We printed off a gorgeous free tracker from 1000 Hours Outside and have it hanging proudly on our wall and easily accessible to the kids when they come inside. I hope you will consider downloading it too! It can be catered to what works best for your family and is a beautiful way to encourage time outdoors together in nature.
