Making Education Seasonal with Christmas School


Listen Later

Welcome to episode 160 with Jennifer and Emelie Pepito. 

The holiday season is an amazing opportunity to shift your educational goals and create a Christmas school that allows your family to enjoy a slower pace of learning and the opportunity to apply learned knowledge to skills like engineering a snowman, baking cookies, sewing needlepoint decorations, or developing your family's bespoke Christmas soap or bath salts. There are so many ways to learn, and Christmas with all the attendant arts and crafts is a fantastic time to pivot from textbook learning and explore hands-on learning.
