Place Mat

2012 Wacky Clothes Day

2013 Wacky Clothes Day

Since our first year home schooling, we had decided that we wanted to celebrate our 100th day of school each year in a fun way.  It usually occurs in the drab month of January when you need a good laugh to help deal with cabin fever.  The 1st year we chose to make a place mat using 100 pictures of animals.  While it started out fun, we soon discovered that cutting out 100 of anything was not all that much fun.  The end product was cool (which we still use sometimes), but not worth all the effort.  Since then, we have looked forward to what we call “Wacky Clothes Day”!!!!  At least one of those years, we were brave enough to visit the library dressed in our wacky outfits.  Most of the time, we just have fun with it and spend the day cooped up at home.

What creative things do you do to add spice to your home schooling year?  🙂
