What is your homeschool plan for today? Share in the comments! . This morning, we have sub-zero temps and lots of wind, so it will be books and games by the fire. And bacon corn chowder in the crockpot. . And all the coffee. . And all the twinkle lights. . And holiday music. . Do you know what I like to do on our gameschooling days? I like to pick a stack of games we haven’t played recently… and some that we are obsessed with. . I leave the stack out and we see how many we can get through. It takes all of the pressure out of decision making (and sibling squabbles). . Plus, I can sneak in subjects I want to work on without the kids knowing!
