Good morning, How are you today? Charlie and I were supposed to be by ourselves today that isn’t happening as Bradley will be here for a while today. Which means I have to change mine and Charlie’s plans for today. Once Bradley leaves to go with his dad Charlie and I are going to Mrs. Roma’s so Charlie can play with Damion. Then we have a meeting at the American Legion. Which means once we get back home Charlie will be tired. So I plan on us coming back and watching a movie together. Only now we can check out these Holiday Websites for Children as I know Charlie will enjoy all of them a lot.
At this website, you’ll find an ingenious list of Christmas-themed activities that will stimulate reading, writing, story-telling, and vocabulary development. You’ll also find suggestions for creating acrostic poems and playing some language arts games. Some of the ideas are better suited to a classroom environment – but many can be tweaked for homeschooling.
LibriVox is an organization that gathers volunteers to record literature in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. At the website, you can access holiday-themed stories. Not only can you download the MP3s and listen to the stories, most contain links to the full text so you can read along – all for free! Here are some titles:
- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
- Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Andersen
- The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
- Twas the Night Before Christmas (A Visit from St. Nick) by Clement C. Moore
Thank you for taking the time to read “Holiday websites for Children”. Do you know of other Holiday websites Charlie and I can visit?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
