Thanksgiving Resources For Your Homeschool
The week of Thanksgiving is always a busy week, but if you homeschool it's doubly busy when you're fitting school time into the mix. (See Barbara Frank's simple solution below!)

I'd like to share a few ideas of my own, and then I have some monster resources for everything from Thanksgiving printables to lesson plans for teaching the origins of the holiday. Kid's Holiday Recipe Notebook Aside from a few extra Thanksgiving crafts, most of your time spent on Thanksgiving usually ...
Best Thanksgiving Craft Ideas
Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, and for some reason ignites that part of me that loves doing crafts with the kids. I'm always buying materials for more projects than I'll finish, but it's so much fun! Every year it seems the ideas available online get more abundant, and some of this year's are sooo adorable!

The following supplements are all ...
