Christmas Homeschooling Lesson on World War 2


World War 2 Christmas Lesson

Do you homeschool during the month of December?

We do.

But we like to mix things up and do more creative, fun learning.

Christmas Homeschooling

When my oldest was a Kindergartner we just nixed school for the month and instead focused on doing lots of Christmas crafts & reading lots of books.

One year we did Craft & Pray Around the World where we learned about Christmas in 24 countries around the world while we learned how we could pray for the people who lived there and made a Christmas ornament representing that country.

Last year I tried to make lots of Christmas themed Worksheets for Kids to make practicing extra fun.

But this year, we are going to try this super creative history for kids lesson.  You can get all the details (including free printables) for A WWII Christmas from Free Homeschool Deals.
