Unit Studies don't have to be complicated - we CAN help!
These two books are the 1st two items that
we'd like to put into your hands.
Everything You Need To Know...NotebookA great resource providing a huge number of generic ideas for assignments. It can be used for any topic of study and with children of all ages!
Includes a simple instructional book that makes it easy for moms to help their children build their very own notebook and over 50 reproducible master sheets that can be photocopied and used over and over. Some of the forms include: Preschool Lined Paper, Section Divider Designs, Vocabulary Word Sheet, Book Report Form, Notebook Timeline, Thematic Writing Paper and much more!
Great complimenting resource to “Everything You Need To Know About Homeschool Unit Studies”
Everything You Need To Know About Homeschool Unit StudiesAn easy to use HOW - TO manual which dispels myths about unit studies like "too much planning" and "having to be creative" and instead shows how to simplify unit studies using notebooks and living books. Because the book is cohesive and easy to read, this 197 page book inspires readers and helps them understand the value of real learning! Includes a visual section full of forms, samples and planning sheets. (“Everything…” has been REVISED and expanded. Jennifer has added NEW things she's learned and implemented in her own Homeschooling, to this revised version. You'll find the KEY information which streamlines and guarantees success by looking for the little 'lightbulb' symbols throughout the book. $19.95 If you bought the original book, you may purchase your revised copy for $12.00 plus shipping!)
There are FOUR basic resource items we try to provide for
your unit studies. With these four items you can jump start
your study. You'd probably want to get some other
resources as well, but you COULD do a unit study with
these four items...These include:
- a Unit Study Guide...choose one of the topic guides to provide planning guidelines
- an Educational Coloring book....these provide not only pictures to color for notebooks, ideas for
writing assignments, and visual aids for your topic, but also an important teaching tool as
pictures are accompanied by text.
- a Read Aloud title....always choose a great piece of literature to use for reading aloud!
- a Nonfiction source of information...use these books to teach the facts about the topic.
As you look through our web site, you will notice at least these four different items for each unit study topic we offer. Other
items we carry might include: stickers, stencils, paperdolls, and miscellaneous fun resources to enhance your studies.
Quote
From -
A Door in the Wall"Whether thou wilt walk soon or not, I know not. This I know, we must teach thy hands to be skillful in many ways and we must teach thy mind to think whether they legs will carry thee or no, for reading is another door in the wall.
Inspirational Thought from Jennifer's Desk
When I was in school, I got good grades, but I never read one book. Really! My friends called me Miss Brainy and I couldn't understand why because I wasn't smart... I just did my work... filled in all the blanks... and got the grade. But, I missed out on getting an education. I'm afraid many homeschoolers are making the same mistake and since we have so many opportunities in teaching let's not just go through the motions and do "school!" We have it within each of us to help our children develop a life long love for learning.
To Get You Started...
