A Unit Study is a collection of materials all tied into one theme. In a Unit Study all subjects can be combined into a particular theme. Unit Studies are a great hands on experience for learning. For example, let's say my child is interested in cars. For Langauge Arts, we can find stories about cars and write sentences and stories about cars. For Math, we can use simple addition and subtraction using my sons toy cars or printing and laminating clip art of cars. For History or Social Studies, we can learn the history about cars by researching it on the internet or watching videos. For Science, we can learn about the engines in the cars and how they are made. See how simple it is to tie it all together. A good place to start is as simple as what your child is interested in and working from there.
