What a wonderful first week of A Connected Christmas! Seeing your children reciting the poetry I spent hours pouring over, enjoying the art pieces I chose and researched, and falling in love with our favorite living Christmas stories has warmed my heart all week long. Most of all, seeing your children digesting the Word of God in a new way through narration and illustrations has been my greatest reward.
I have received countless messages from homeschool moms sharing their excitement about the curriculum and how much connection and fun they’re having, too. A Connected Christmas is living up to its name in homes across the world, and I’m so thankful.
In this blog post I am sharing our activities for the first week of A Connected Christmas.

A Connected Christmas Recap: Week One
Throughout the course of our week, we studied the beginning passages of the Biblical Christmas story by reading, narrating, and illustrating. The children can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.
We made sensory snow dough after reading The Snowy Day and made soap carvings like the woodworker in The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey.
We spent afternoons crafting paper snowflakes and foraged for twigs to make tree ornaments. Our kitchen and bellies were filled with cinnamon and spice as we made and ate sweet gingerbread families. My children fell in love with the carol “Mary Did You Know?” and “ Winter Morning Poem” by Ogden Nash.
