Complete Download is ready for download

Posted in Book of Virtues
Ok the final "MEGA" download is now ready for download. I have taken all our various "sections" and placed it all in one single download.

It is 18.93 MB. So this is a LARGE file. but it's not SUPER HUGE. LOL, ok  it is. But it is small enough to email so I figure that it's not too big. There are 992 pages in this download. So what did you all expect???

The lesson plan is the beginning. I have also included the primary lesson plan created by Twinkle Mom. Then each unit goes in the following order: 

Project pack (it has the unit cover sheets with it and you need to know what the projects are for each week ahead of time!)

Worksheets: These are the "meat" of the unit so they come next.

Vocabulary: LOL, to continue my metaphore: They are the potatoes and gravy! :) They are a good side item for those wishing to increase vocabulary

Copywork: Another side dish!! All of which is important for a well balanced education.

Lapbook, Now I know everyone is not into this, so the lapbook section is last. Please note that the wrap up is book marked so that you don't have to scroll through the entire section.

Infact, All sections are book marked. With 900+ pages I figured I'd get more than a little grumbling without them!!

Another addition has been added to the full download (and will make a debut  as a separate download when the others are available) Is a set of Character sheets. The original was created by twinkle mom as well. I have simply added a title (the character trait)  and the rest of the page is a graphic organizer to help them "break down" their study.

Anyways, I will be taking down the "sections" eventually, but not right away. So if you would like to still get just this piece or that, you still have that opportunity. I will eventually be putting up the "final" combine of each unit for those that have slower download speeds. If I have not done this, please PLEASE email me using the button above and I will either link to them or email them to you.

A couple of suggestions for using this project! DON"T feel you need to do the entire 992 pages!  Talk about overkill!!!  They were provided only to give you options for your various learners. You don't even have to do the same pages for each of your children! If you have a child that loves worksheets, hates lapbooks then do the worksheets, but if your other child can't stand them and wants to do the lapbook, let him do the lapbook! This gives you a TON of options. Please, only do what works for you and your family--even if that means you only use 10 sheets!!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear back from some of you. If you would like to leave a comment I'd really appreciate your thoughts on if this is working for you, lol, or if I'm way out in left field!!

Thanks for being patient as I created this!!

I just found out about your blog from homeschoolfreebieoftheday, and I have to tell you that now that I've downloaded your BOV project, I am going to use that book with my children, even though I had thought that I wouldn't! Your resource is just too good to not put to some seriously good use! Thank you!

Posted by Mrs. Simmons
Your project is absolutely inspirational and it is beyond kind of you to offer it for however long you have decided to do so. I am blown away by the number of activities and the thoughtful planning you have put into it.

I hope that you will be encouraged to offer it for sale on a site like currclick.com. I imagine you would have great success there.

I had very little school work planned for this summer, but your project has changed all that. We are going to spend our time learning and practicing virtues. Thank you!

Thanks for a wonderful resource! I have owned The Book of Virtues for many years and this is a new reason for me to pull it off the shelf to use with my newest "school aged" young ones. :-)

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the wonderful thoughts and words you have all shared with me!

Ms. Simmons This project will always be free! I have thought about offering it on Currclick for free as well. I didn't create it to make money--just to share.

Thank you so much for this! I just heard about it from the homeschool freebie of the day, and it is awesome! We have the book of virtues, and the kids and I both love it. What a super project to do with them, and great teaching opportunities. We have just started to lapbook, so I'm excited to see that in there too. God bless you for all your hard work, and for sharing. Kris Tyree(homeschooling 4: 9,11,11,13 )

I have been reading BOV to my first-grader and wanting to go further with it. This is just what I was looking for without even knowing it. As a bonus, it looks like there are good activities for a range of ages so I will get my third-grader going on it too.

A quick look at your site didn't reveal a paypal or donate button. I (and I'm sure many others) would be happy to chip in a few bucks for all the hard work you did.

I was so excited to find your HUGE file of activities on the Book of Virtues. However, I could not download it. It wanted a password and e-mail address before it would even show me the file. Is it supposed to do that? I thought it was on your website.

Jun. 16, 2009 - No password required

Posted by T8ermomma
I don't know why it asked for a password. I did not set one up. Did you click on the link to the right?? It should take you to a page that has a link on the left that says start download. There may be a pop up "ad." But you can skip those.

Try it again, if you can't get it, send me an email and I'll see if I can email it to you.

Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into this project. I found 'The Book of Virtues' at a thrift store several years ago and it has been sitting in a bookshelf waiting to be used. I had not quite figured out what to do with it, as I knew I wanted to more than just read it. I am so excited to have this Unit Study to work on with my 10dd.
