4 Dec

I was raised overseas, so it is important to me that our children learn about the history and culture of places other than their home country. Cultural studies are a big part of our homeschool. 

History and Cultural Studies with St Nicholas

When our oldest children were little, I discovered the St. Nicholas Center and began a beautiful tradition in our family.  Each December, I use the St. Nicholas Center to teach all four of our children the story of the real Santa Claus.  While learning about St. Nicholas, we learn traditions and make crafts and recipes from around the world.  St. Nicholas Day, December 6th, is a big deal in many countries! 

The St. Nicholas Center website is beautiful and large — it has links, photos, recipes, crafts, stories, and more for those who would like to learn about the original Santa Claus.

How to Learn History & Cultural Studies through St. Nicholas Day:

Visit the St. Nicholas Center to see all the site has to offer. One of our favorite pages is Around the World. In our homeschool, we each have a country – or several! – that we want to study that year. This page lists many countries along with their traditions and culture.

Happy St. Nicholas Day from our family to yours!

Freely Educate is written for those, like our family, who don't want the box. There are many places for "box-thinkers" to go. This place is for those who think outside the box. I hope to give you affirmation and advice on bravely choosing to educate creatively and individually. - Lori Seaborg
