• Thursday, June 19, 2008 - What about Unit studies?

How about Unit studies for science and history/geography? Who out there uses these, which ones have you tried are there any good ones?

I haven't had much time to blog lately, I have been really busy with farm life. It isn't always so romantic around here. I have a milk cow that poops all over me at every evening milking. Gotta love being covered in green! LOL It makes for alot of extra clean-up. This week not only do I have all my chores, milk the cow and 2 goats, feed wethers,calf, 3 pigs, chickens, dog, a bazillon cats, cook, clean, & refere 9 children do laundry, trying to keep ALL the grass watered with one faucet, and MOW but I said I would take care of thingsd at my friends while they were out of town for a week so now I am carry for their 2 bottle calves, horses, 5 pigs, chickens, milking their cow, and watering everything in her green house. I'm a little wiped out to say the least!

My dear sweet husband is coming to take the kids again and this time for a FULL week. The bummer is he is taking Olivia with him to help and also let her visit with friends. I really hope to get alot acomplished while they are gone. I am a really big chicken though. Day time will be GREAT but nights I'm not so sure about.

It's late as usual and chores will be calling as well as hving to get Jesse, Micah & Sarah packed & out the door to the church by 9:30 am. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!

Blessings,
Alaina

• Thursday, June 19, 2008 - I Use Them

Posted by Tiredmamaof5
I use unit studies for science and history/geography.
I usually make my own. Making my own is cheaper than buying them. If I don't have time I will buy but it really isn't that hard to do it yourself.
As soon as I get my school room switched i will be posting unit sstudies on my blog. Check it out when you have time.
Good luck with all the chores.

• Friday, June 20, 2008 - Neat Pics and Good luck with Unit Studies

Posted by ushappyokies
I just love your blog pics and you are one very busy lady! Good luck with the Unit Studies. We love them and do them year round. I usually watch and see what one of the kids likes (recently we did airplanes because my 8 year old was so obsessed) and everyone had so much fun. It's sort of a "delight directed" philosophy. So I am not much help, but basically we design our own. Sometimes we spend one week on something but if they are really liking it,it can last longer. Good luck.

• Thursday, July 3, 2008 - What we do ...

Posted by twinsarefun
Hi Alaina,
I have been so blessed to see your pictures online. I really would love to hear from you & catch up. I saw this post & thought I would send you my thoughts & heart ...

We use Apologia Science (just for reading & some small experiments) but it is made for "elementary students" so you can use it with multiple age ranges at the same time. :) It is engaging & fun to read.

We also use Mystery of History which is also made to use with multiple age ranges. :) It is a great chronological approach to history. It lines up the Christian stories with the other history you learn. It is fun to see how things line up. :)

These aren't unit studies but things that we have grown to love & I just wanted another way to try to get in touch.

Call me or email me. I think all my information is the same ... I loved seeing pictures of Malakai! :) He is getting very handsome!

:) Kimberly
