Unit Studies - Fitting it all in
I received the HOW Wisdom Unit Study recently, and it looks wonderful. I will let you know how it is as we go through it. This is not the type of Unit Study where you integrate all subjects, so we will continue with their math, science, etc. It is also mainly for the older children, so we'll see how the Littles fit in. As our family has grown, I have sometimes wondered how to fit all of the subjects in that we need to learn. Even with a Unit Study, you can't fit everything into it. As a homeschool teacher, you have to manage your time nd be creative to fit in all they need. For the mostpart, children will tell you what their interests are and what they will learn best. You do have to do math separately, and science, too, most of the time. Our children are at no loss when it comes to reading, so that isn't a problem, regardless of the study. They also love learning, whether through hands-on, reading, media or anything, really.
How do you use Unit Studies, and what ages are your children?

We use unit studies for every subject that we can.... geography, history, art, science, Bible, logic, character, etc.
The children do their individual work for Math, Reading, Spelling, Writing, and Penmanship.
They are currently:
Kaitlyn, 14 (8th grade)
Jordan, 12 (7th grade)... Asperger's Syndrome
Ian, almost 11 (4th/5th grade)
Noah, 8 (3rd grade)
Hannah, 6 (1st grade)

I have looked at HOW on and off over the years but just never broke down and bought it for some reason. I'd love to hear how it works for you.
My oldest 2 (now ages 14 & 12) hate unit studies, especially my oldest. We did them for years but *I* needed something with more structure so we've been a little more eclectic the past couple years, a little more textbook oriented.
I actually *forgot* about unit studies until I read this! I will probably start using them again with my littles (currently ages 6, 4, and 1) and just let the older 2 do their eclectic mix of textbooks and unschooling.
Blessings ~ Diane
