March Homeschool

We're still enjoying the same specific rhythm to our main four homeschool days. That fifth day is for catch-up, review, field trips, educational games, etc. We took a spring break this month because of a big extracurricular event we traveled for (and we extended the trip to visit with extended family, too). This was our March.
