Matthew read it this year, Andrew's reading it now. : )<BR/><BR/>Unit studies are the best. Like you, when I look back, I realize that those are our favorite years. I'm letting Sam make up his own unit studies in the coming year. <BR/><BR/>I've always loved the way you homeschool Becky. You became a hero of sorts when you studied artists. I can't wait until Grace gets to that point. I plan to do something very similar.<BR/><BR/>I meant to say that I love the color scheme of your blog too. ; )Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306184975508378312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963106206946364171.post-66733284077803031762008-06-17T22:02:00.000-04:002008-06-17T22:02:00.000-04:00We need to get together and talk about "unit studi...We need to get together and talk about "unit studies."

In fact, I did that the entire first year because I wanted to make sure I was committed before spending money on "real" curriculum. <BR/><BR/>We loved a whole series we did on Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. My boys were young, 1st and 3rd grade, when we started homeschooling and we did our reading, spelling, english, history, geography and even scinece around those books the first semester of school. <BR/><BR/>It was so much fun, and when I cleaned out all our homeschool stuff years later and went through it all, I realized that was our best year of learning. And I had the most fun doing it.<BR/><BR/>I love some of your ideas. Especially the composers and artists. What a great way to learn about them.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140530325649071135noreply@blogger.com
