First, let’s pause to remember the Benefits of Homeschooling! Sunshiney days are always good for homeschool, wouldn’t you say? A few snapshots of the regular and some highlights of learning. Plus, don’t forget to act like homeschoolers!

These tips for making fine arts fun are encouraging any time of the homeschool year.
