As we step into March, the world around us begins to shift—winter loosens its grip, and signs of spring peek through in fresh blooms and longer days. Just like the changing seasons, homeschooling follows its own rhythms, and this time of year brings a wonderful opportunity to embrace fresh energy, new growth, and the natural curiosity that comes with new beginnings.
March is a month of transitions, making it a great time to explore themes of growth, renewal, and change in your homeschool. Whether it’s diving into nature studies as plants awaken, celebrating Pi Day (March 14) with some hands-on math fun, or exploring the contributions of women in history for Women’s History Month, there are endless ways to bring seasonal learning to life. This is also a great time to explore weather patterns, migration, gardening, and the science behind the changing seasons.
Feeling the mid-year homeschool slump? You’re not alone! March is a great time to shake things up—take the learning outside, try a new approach, or simply slow down and savor the journey. Field trips, creative projects, and even something as simple as reading outside can bring fresh energy to your days. Journaling springtime observations, incorporating art inspired by nature, or starting a small windowsill garden are simple ways to engage kids in hands-on learning.
This week, we’ve rounded up some resources and ideas to inspire your March homeschooling adventures:
🌿 Nature & Science: Try a simple plant-growing experiment, track seasonal changes in a nature journal, or explore the science of weather and ecosystems. (Pinterest March Homeschool Resources)
🧮 Pi Day Fun: Celebrate 3.14 with math-inspired baking, circle geometry activities, and fun games that bring numbers to life. (Pinterest Pi Day Resources)
📚 Women’s History Month: Read about inspiring women in history, watch documentaries, or create a timeline of key contributions across various fields.
🎭 Shaking Up the Routine: If you’re feeling stuck, try a new learning method—perhaps a unit study, a hands-on project, or a fresh daily rhythm that keeps things engaging.
📢 Important Reminder! If you plan to continue your homeschool learning journey with The Cottonwood School next year, be sure to complete your Intent to Return Form—sent to you by your HST—by this Friday to secure your spot for next year! Additionally, if you plan to enroll any siblings, please fill out the Enrollment Interest Form by Friday, March 14th, to ensure they receive priority enrollment.
March is full of opportunities to embrace growth, exploration, and discovery. Whether you’re diving into seasonal themes, engaging in hands-on learning, or simply soaking up the joy of homeschooling, this month offers so many ways to connect and learn together.
