Every Day’s a Holiday
Filed Under: Homeschooling, Link Love
Did you know that every day’s a holiday? And there are some interesting ones. I like to search the web to find out what’s special about today, then create a little “celebration” that incorporates a learning activity. A great resource is About.com’s Fundays Calendar, which includes links of related activities for each “funday.”
I’ll be posting some of the holidays and activities here as often as possible. Shall we start with today?
March 19th is:
- Act Happy Day: Founded by a doctor/speaker who prescribes method acting techniques to “enhance health and wealth.” We’re going to celebrate by laying down some “no whining” and “happy faces only” rules for the day!
- National Chocolate Caramel Day: Recipes here.
- And for your history study/discussion, today is also the anniversary of the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. (I’m SO resisting the urge to add my own personal commentary here.)
PHAT = Parenting, Homeschooling And Technology. That about sums up my life at the moment.

It is also St. Joseph’s Day…the Italian version of St. Patrick’s Day. My husband, Joseph, is Lebanese and in Lebanon they celebrate the Saints days like a birthday. So, he gets lot of gifts just like its his birthday! Oh..and we all wore RED today to celebrate!
