It's November and that means just over 3 weeks until Thanksgiving. This year I wanted to share the holiday with my kids in a way that focuses on gratitude, love, and family. So I went searching for fun, nostalgic stories and activities that we could sprinkle into our homeschool throughout the month. And I came to find that there were so many good ideas that we probably won't get through them all. So if you're looking for some family centered ideas for your homeschool, I hope you'll find lots of inspiration here.
