February Holiday Teaching Resources
It is cold and snowing outside. Which means we’re curled up eating warm pancakes covered in melted peanut butter, sliced bananas, and drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows. The perfect winter breakfast!
I cannot believe that today is the last day of January. The year has just begun and it is already flying by too fast. Groundhog day is coming up next. Homeschooling in the Ozarks has a ton of activities and coloring pages and more for Groundhog’s day.
February also includes Charles Dickens’ Day on the 7th, Thomas Edison’s birthday on the 11th, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on the 12th, Susan B. Anthony’s birthday on the 15th, and George Washington’s birthday on the 22nd. Clearly, February is a great month to be born in.
February is also Black History Month in the US. History.com has a great section on Black History Month to explore. I found a ton of great lesson plans and printables to use.
Of course there is also the big V day, Valentine’s Day. You can find a great history behind the holiday here. Be sure to turn your speakers on as there is a video that starts playing that talks about the history and modern traditions.
Now I’m going to make another cup of hot cocoa and curl up with my knitting on the couch. I still can’t believe January is practically over. The rest of the year better slow down!
