Let’s Study Famous Folks – January Calendar
January is bursting with newness! It’s so fun to get back into a good routine or add a new one. While I’m not much for resolutions, I am all for trying new activities, learning something new, and doing whatever it takes to perk up a cold day with fun learning. Having quality conversations over a hot meal or while baking is a great way to find out what your kids are interested in. Use the January Calendar of Famous People to warm up your winter learning.

Finding ways to stay connected with your tweens and teens, maybe a challenge, but I’ve found that if they are curious learners they really love learning about famous people. They even like celebrating quirky holidays – like Bobblehead Day.
