Yesterday we talked about how important it is that families embrace the season and do what creates peace and calm during the holidays.
That is never more important than today when I present to you a long list of holiday unit studies and printables. My goal is to give you two options.
Option A: Easy unit studies that are a little more involved. These may work best for the crafty or younger family and will take a little more time on mom’s part to put things together.
Option B: Fun Christmas printables. Easier and more hands-off for mom, these are perfect to print and hand over. The kids will think they are fun, they stay busy, and you have something to show for your December.
Choose the option that works best for your family and repeat after me, “peace and calm, peace and calm, peace and calm.”
Christmas Unit Studies
Jan Brett Unit Study from Build Your Library – This is the unit study our family will be doing this Christmas — just for fun. I love the books in the study and there is copywork, geography, science, and notebooking pages included in the study along with the fun activities like making gingerbread boys.
Add a little life science with this fun (and free) Reindeer Mini-Unit study. It includes habitat, life cycle, and mapping information about the reindeer, along with fun puzzles and engaging projects to complete your learning.
We have also pulled together a set of videos to support your Christmas learning! You can watch the videos with your kids on our Yule School Resources Page. There are also links to activities, crafts, and learning ideas for each topic!
Use these to help you plan a simple or more elaborate Yule School in your home.
