An Astronomy Unit

Posted in Unit Studies

Just a quick note about the first week of our astronomy unit....

 

The kids are loving our space station!  It's just some star lights along the stair railing with astronomy themed books lining the steps.  On the landing below, there's a reading chair and a box covered with star fabric.  I've placed an astronomy game and more books on and around the box.  I've tacked up a poster of the planets and some of their projects as well.  Simple, but effective!

I can't let my kids read your blog...or else they'd want to come do school at your house.

Great idea! Only one problem with it...I'd be terrified of tripping over the little chair at the bottom of the stairs~ LOL See you on Monday~

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I'm a homeschooling mom to three of the sweetest children - 11, 8 and 1. We use a very eclectic style - mostly Charlotte Mason mixed with classical. We love unit studies, lapbooking and notebooking. And books, books, books! Personally, I love to encourage and inspire homeschoolers new and old.
