Are you a textbook mom? Are you a unit study mom? I can remember as a young girl my mom seeking out the best curriculum to give my sister and I the best education that would fit with our family. As one of those mothers who is fun and creative unit studies were a great option. However what little was out there was overwhelming and time consuming to say the least.
When I met Sharon and her husband from Homeschool Legacy, I caught their excitement in what they had done for the homeschool world! They have created once a week unit studies for the whole family that are clear, concise, easy to use and fun! Topical unit studies that are simply laid out could not get any easier!
Each booklet can be purchased separately or you can purchase bundles, based on your famiy’s interests and needs. The copy that I chose from Homeschool Legacy was the Unit Study called Birds of a Feather.
This particular one is a four-week study. Designed to do once a week for grades 2-12 everything is laid out simply for me. Just look at what my particular book has in it:
