Episode 40: Homeschooling through the Holidays
In this week’s episode of The Relatable Homeschoolers, we discuss homeschooling through the holidays!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year–the holidays! Are you curious as to how homeschooling through the holidays looks in other’s homeschools? In this episode, Annie, Harmony, and Heather share what homeschooling looks like in their homes over the holidays.
We talk about our routines and how long a break (if any) we take. We talk about traditions and things we like to focus on over the holidays, and we share the resources we use in our homeschools. The three of us are Christians so we also talk about observing Advent in our homes.
