A Christmas Carol Unit Study

A Christmas Carol Unit Study

I know from previous experience that when it gets close to Christmas, my enthusiasm for getting lessons in wanes. As an effort to keep things fresh, in sync with the season, and helpful to others, I am offering to take your kids ages 8 and up for a whole week and do "lessons" with them.

We will study A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and get in literature, language arts, history, music and fine arts. We will also view a couple of different movie versions as the week progresses. At the end of the week, children will have a beautiful notebook to share with relatives over the holidays.

This class will be held at my house in Littlestown and will be from Noon to 4pm on December 17-21, 2007. The book is written in 5 chapters, so this fits very nicely.

Parents do not have to stay during the class. As a matter of fact, with all the other stuff you have to do this week before Christmas, I encourage you to go and get it done. Even if you just need to go back to your house and take a bubble bath. That's fine.

Also, we will not be covering math this week. If your child has a math assignment, you may drop them off 30 minutes early and I will help them with it if necessary. That way, everything is done for you.

Cost will be $8 per day or $30 for the week per child.

If you are an ACTS member, the cost will be $5 per day or $20 for the week per child.

Space is limited to 8 participants ages 8 and up. A $5 deposit will be required to hold your space when you RSVP.
