If there’s ever a season to do this, I’ve definitely learned to simplify spring homeschool. I’ve mentioned before that spring is typically the hardest season in our homeschool. It’s busy. Our calendar is off the charts crazy. We’re all growing a little weary of school and getting ready for a summer break. Even still, I want to finish strong and there’s so much goodness to enjoy with my kids in the springtime.

You can watch the video below for a more in-depth explanation of each item on the list, OR just skim down the list for some great ideas to make your life easier this spring AND end your school year on a good note.
