Yesterday we shared our Top Picks for Holiday Boards to Follow and look to for last minute ideas.  As for our big plans this holiday season we’re spending it at home with family and creating memories together.  My daughter and I will be participating in the Christmas Around the World and Cooking Around the World over the holiday break. 

It’s finally a time where I get to have her at home with be and do all sorts of fun things together.  We’ll be participating in the Virtual Book Club for Kids featuring Jan Brett this month. We’ve built our Gingerbread House and can’t wait to share. 

Here’s a little teacher moment….Just in case you want to fit in some LEARNING during the Holiday Break here are some helpful boards to check out! I’ve tried to find a few Holiday Activities for each so that you can sneak in some learning and still include holiday themes!

  • Reading Resources
  • Math Games
  • Writing Activities
  • Science Fun

After-school time is a wonderful opportunity to engage kids in fun, educational activities that spark creativity and learning.

    I find the busier I keep her after school the better her behavior is and the more fun we have. However I give her multiple options and some times it's just a quiet afternoon reading a good chapter book so you never know what we'll be up to. Hope you have a terrific holiday break!

    Oh boy, I am amazed at your energy. I have no idea yet how we will spend our holiday break next week, perhaps all these resources will help me get organized 🙂
