Homeschool On the Range: Holiday Homeschool! Christmas-Schooling

Holiday Homeschool! Christmas-Schooling

The holiday season is a wonderful time to slow down, make memories, and discover new ways to learn together. Whether your family takes December off from formal lessons or enjoys a little Christmas-schooling, there are plenty of ways to bring the season into your homeschool.

Cooking can become home economics, holiday shopping offers opportunities to practice budgeting and math, and writing cards provides a real-world reason to work on language arts. You can explore history through holiday traditions, discover the world through seasonal literature, or enjoy hands-on projects that bring learning to life.

You don't have to choose between celebrating the season and continuing to learn!

Celebrating the Holidays through Literature

If your family is anything like mine, you love to curl up and read together…about everything! When they were younger, our boys loved to read about the holidays — everything from stories set during that time to the history and culture of the specific holiday. We hope these book lists help you create memories to cherish through reading…

The History Behind our Holidays

This includes eight holidays, and each unit has introductory text, which will give the student the holiday’s history and customs. After this text, there are featured videos, which augment the background information and help make the topic more accessible for more visual students. You will also find a short list of reading books and fun hands-on activities!
