Moving on along through our series: Look Alive:Winter Homeschooling Ideas & Downloads, Day 4 is Look to Free Unit Studies.
You know how passionate I feel about unit studies.
No, I didn’t start off my homeschool journey with unit studies.
Back when I started homeschooling, I felt that if we did one, then I would be a rogue homeschooler. Unit studies were for those “other” homeschoolers.
We all fight being a product of a public institution and our approach to homeschooling can change within the same year or if we add a second child to our year.
Maybe that second child proves to have a very different learning style from the first one which is the case a lot of times.
I have found that regardless of the learning styles of each of my sons, we all benefit from unit studies.
The resources I want to share today are from Homeschool Learning Network.
They have several free unit studies. I happen to like unit studies that are more loosely written with more information and less emphasis on grade level.
What I like most about these is that each unit study contains a lot of useful links which helps to flesh out your study on that topic.
Just to let you know though you do have to fill out some personal information to download them instantly. The form asks for your name, address and email. You do not have to give a phone number.
I usually don’t recommend websites like that unless they have some juicy tidbits that are worth downloading.
The units from Homeschool Learning Network are: The Mayflower – Journey to a New Life, Deserts of the World, Understanding Emotions, The Vikings, Planning Your Music Curriculum, Robert Louis Stevenson, Afghanistan and Greek Literature:Homer and Aesop.

You know I heart inspirational quotes. Here is one that I am thinking about today when it comes to facing the feat that your present homeschool approach might not be working.
“To live an extraordinary life, you must resist an ordinary approach.”
