So many of my readers are still homeschoolers, and though we placed our children in a private school for the first time this past school year, I thought I would do a round-up of our all time favorite unit studies that we did over the years!
As homeschoolers (and even as a kindergarten teacher before having children) my FAVORITE way to teach was to use unit studies! I probably would have considered my style unit studies & Charlotte Mason if pressed to define our methods.
You can see ALL of my posts on unit studies by scrolling through them here.
