Educational Netflix Shows

I find that sometimes our homeschool day only consists of reading books together and watching some great shows and videos. When we first started homeschooling I never thought that we would be including Netflix in our educational plan. Little did I know that there are so many great shows that children (and adults) can learn from. There’s everything from learning how to read and basic math all the way to complex science and history.
