Welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Social Sciences and Christmas Resources. I would like to ask you to take a look at the websites and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students or not.
Exploros Social Studies Bundle
Exploros powers Wordly Wise i3000, and now you can find new courses from them through the Co-op — Social Studies for Grades 4-11. Exploros distributes the resources, documents work, and automatically reports on learning progress with these versatile courses.
Why Christmas? – All grades, with parental supervision
Created by James Cooper from the UK, this kid friendly website explores all things Christmas.
When arriving at this cheerfully colorful website, use the links in the upper menu to select from:
- Christmas Traditions and Customs – Learn all about when the Christmas season is celebrated, the traditions of candles, candy canes, Christmas cards, carols, mistletoe, St. Nicholas, Santa Claus, and Father Christmas and so much more
- Christmas Around the World – Discover how Christmas is celebrated in countries around the world
- The Christmas Story – Read, listen, and/or watch the Christmas story. Includes a downloadable comic book version, an interactive visual version, and more
- Christmas Fun and Activities – Activities include an online Christmas tree to decorate, a nativity scene to build either online or downloadable, word searches and a crossword puzzle, Christmas desktop wallpaper, and loads of other creative and fun activities
After browsing through all that is available, be sure to add to your fun by selecting the “Christmas Karaoke” image on the home page. You will be taken to another website (tistheseasonto.be) where you and your family can sing along to over 50 Christmas Carols and songs.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
