2025 Christmas School is Here
I announced this arrival much earlier on our Facebook Page and Instagram pages, but I still needed to do things properly and announce it, as well as dive deeper into what's available here on the blog.
I have been creating resources for our Christmas School since 2020 (see what Christmas School is HERE). Initially, I started making it mainly for our older girls. Still, it has evolved and become significantly more over the last five years. This year's theme is Santa Claus. I have created two literature Studies, Two Essays, and one writing project around this theme for the 2025 school year.
Let's take a look at what is available:
When Santa Fell to Earth by Cornelia Funke is a literature unit that incorporates a variety of meaningful literary study elements and vocabulary work.
This Unit Contains:
· Daily Discussion Questions (or the option to create an independent reading study)
· Discussion Worksheets on Predictions, Characters, Theme, Plot, and Setting
· Students can also fill out a New Recruit Application to be a Good Santa
· Lots of Vocabulary work (dictionary or one-page vocabulary sheet, word searches, crosswords, and vocabulary in context).
· A Final Test for Vocabulary and the Novel
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by Frank L. Baum is another literature study designed to be a more independent unit for middle schoolers or high schoolers.
This Unit Contains:
· Pre-Reading Essay
· Origin Story Doodle Notes Page
· Doodle Notes for daily reading
· Literature Worksheets on Theme, Genre, Plot, Character, Symbolism, and Christmas Traditions.
· There is also a lot of Vocabulary work (one-page vocabulary sheet, word search, crossword, and vocabulary in context).
· A Final Test for Vocabulary and the Novel
A Day at the North Pole Essay and Unconventional Christmas Gift Essay. Each of these essays comes with a student requirement page, brainstorming pages, outlining pages, and a grading rubric.
The North Pole News Newspaper Project is also available for students to create a simple two-page newspaper centered around the happenings at the North Pole.
There is currently only One Bundle Option Available, which includes "When Santa Fell to Earth," an essay on "A Day at the North Pole," and the "North Pole New Newspaper" project.
I am considering creating a website-exclusive bundle that includes all Santa-themed items, along with comprehensive lesson plans for the whole family to enjoy. These plans would feature suggested crafts, science experiments, and special treats to make together.
