Five Reasons You Shouldn’t Teach 'A Christmas Carol' This Year (Or Should You?)

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Homeschool Better Together podcast, I’m joined by Dawn Garrett to chat about our special gift for homeschoolers this year—A Christmas Carol explorations! We’re offering a free resource full of fun activities, discussions, and enrichment to bring some holiday cheer into your homeschool. Dawn and I go over the history behind this yearly gift, why we’re excited about A Christmas Carol as this year's theme, and a few reasons you might not want to skip this one.

    I share my journey of rediscovering the story’s true meaning and why it’s a perfect classic to enjoy as a family. We also talk about the Camp Christmas upgrade, packed with even more holiday fun, crafts, and planning resources to keep your homeschool cozy and memorable this season.

    Key Points:

    • A Christmas Carol explorations as a free holiday gift.
    • Why this story offers valuable lessons in a family-friendly way.
    • Optional Camp Christmas upgrade for extra activities, crafts, and planning tools.
    • Fun community challenges and a chance to win prizes.
