New Year’s Eve

by Summer Minor

clock watchingWell it is the last day of 2007. Are you ready for the new year? Do you have your resolutions ready? Are you planning a party tonight? Or are you trying to figure out how this whole New Year thing began?

Wondering why the new year starts on January 1st? And what is the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars? How do people in other parts of the world celebrate? When do other cultures celebrate the New Year? Here are some New Year lesson plans, printables, and worksheets you can use to add a little more knowledge to the day. Now you can pretend to be the master of knowledge when it comes tyo useless New year’s eve trivia. You’re welcome.

Of course a lot of families are probably taking it easy today on the homeschool front. I know we aren’t planning anything. Tonight my boys will stay the night with cousins, giving mommy and daddy some much needed rest. I know, it seems too good to be true! Quiet time without kids? Can that happen? Hopefully so.

To end off the year here are of my favorite posts about homeschooling and the new year on the web right now. If you know of any other great posts leave me a comment and I’ll add the links. May 2008 bring you and your family happiness, love, and peace!

    I’m planning on a good night’s sleep. The way I see it, the New Year will be there tomorrow whether I stay up to notice it or not.
