A Homeschool Christmas

By

Helen Hegener posted Merry Christmas at her editorial blog earlier this week.  Along with her holiday wishes and insightful  observations,  it is loaded with some interesting  Christmas resources that I wanted to share here with you.

Helen’s excellent post got me to poking around the blogosphere to find some more holiday posts.  Periwinkles and Pine has a great post on gumdrops and Small World has some great Winter Treats.   Throwing Marshmallows wrote , More About A Homeschool Christmas and some great resources she has found.   Farm School shares information that she found of  Lois Lenski’s memories, entitled “Christmas at Huckleberry Mountain.  Concerning homemade giving, Four Little Birds writes, buy homemade save homemade.  You can find some great Hannukah resources at Judy Aron’s  Consent of the Governed blog.

These are just a few that I found.  Do you have any resources you would like to share?  Just leave a comment below or contact me offline and I’ll share them here.

Have a wonderful holiday! — Mary

  • Intrinsic Motivations for Learning
    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business. Nurturing the human capacity to learn through love and intrinsic motivation is as important to life — to me, more important — as ‘learning for earning.’ Art, religion, music […]

    Defining unschooling is a little like describing a color, and every bit as elusive. You can rely on commonly-held descriptions; for example, we generally all agree what blue looks like, but what about cobalt, aqua, navy, cyan, sapphire, azure, indigo, cerulean, turquoise or cornflower? It’s the same with unschooling. There’s a generally accepted definition, […]
