December Roundup! Nashville’s Best Homeschool Activities

Do you try to do all the holiday things at Christmas?  Or does your family slow down?  It’s definitely  hard to slow down in Nashville, so much to do and so little time!  Once you’ve taken your annual photo with Santa and checked out all the best light displays in Middle TN, you may be looking for a few more educational focused outings you could count as part of a school day.

 

A few things happening throughout December are:

BOGO self guided tours at the Ryman for Middle TN Residents
