Good morning, how are you? I wanted to share Unique Holidays: in May with you. If your Homeschooling like Charlie is you can use these Topics to create Lesson Plans/ Unit Studies.
To find reading material for your students. Or if your child it taking Creative Writing they can use the topics for that. As well as for Newsworthy items and they could create a newspaper.
During the Month of May as you can see there is a lot to study including Gifts from the Garden Month and being Mothers Day this month you could pick items from your Garden and the kids could create a card and pick items from the garden to give to the Ladies on your Mothers Day List.
It’s also Bike Month and children can learn about Bike Safety and pledge to ride there Bikes daily. You could create a challenge and they could ask people to donate. Then they could donate the money they raise to there favorite charity. Teaching our children to give back.
