Homeschool Happenings
Hello NEO Homeschoolers! Welcome back, and happy June! Did y'all have a good Memorial Day Weekend? We honestly didn't do much... got some things done around the house, went hiking, and just generally hung out and relaxed. Anyway, with summer right around the corner, I'm on a mission to find some fun, outdoor activities for our homeschool kiddos. Ready to dive in? I know I am!

With everything from kayaking to learning about snakes and dinosaurs, June has homeschoolers covered with fun, educational activities that both keep kids learning and get the family out of the house. I apologize for the late posting of this Homeschool Happenings. I had intended to get it up sooner, but wound up getting sick for a week and fell behind. In any case, I hope you all are able to find some fun events for the remainder of the month and I'll see you again soon!
