💛 A Note from Buzzy B

Homeschooling doesn’t have to be rigid to be meaningful. February is a beautiful reminder that learning can be gentle, creative, and relationship-centered. 💕
Some days will be packed with projects, others will be quiet—and both are learning days.

Thank you for letting The Buzzy B be part of your homeschool journey.
You’re doing an amazing job, Hive Parent. 🐝✨
