Twas the Week Before Christmas: Homeschool Holiday Curriculum
Want to log homeschooling hours with the whole family but still get some education? Here’s a little poem to get you inspired!
Twas the week before Christmas
And all through the house
The homeschoolers were busy
Kids, mom and good spouse
The schoolbooks were hidden, some here and some there
In hopes that a day-off soon would be here
The children were breakfasting in quiet contemplation
Hoping for no boring math, English or scientific investigation
When out from the schoolroom there arose such a clatter
Teens and tots sprang from the table to see what was the matter
Nothing was wrong, it was just mom so happy!
Her face was a-glowing, her hands were a-clappy!
“We can log hours for homeschooling today!
There’s science, reading, writing, art, history: Hooray!
But it is all about the Season! Oh, it will be fun!
You will all enjoy it! Each daughter, each son!”
The children all cheered for their textbooks could hide
But still school could happen. “But FUN school,” they sighed
From the top of the stairs to the foot of the hall
They dashed to get ready and all had a ball!
