Making your own Unit Study

                   My family is starting the "50 states and their regions Unit". I made this Unit Study and thought this would be a great thing to share, how to make your own unit study.Why I choose this topic. This is something that interest each of us in different ways. I love learning about the history of our country, "Bug" loves learning about the battles that has happened, and the girls love learning about food, animals and clothes. So we are going to be able to cover all of this with our unit. We will take 9 weeks to cover the Unit, and on the way if we love it so much that we would rather take longer then we can.We will be studding allot so the kids will each have a specialty they will teach about on Friday's "Bug will teach about battles that happened in that region". My Goal for them is that they learn to listen and learn to teach.
                                             

 So when your ready to make your own Unit Study

When you decide that you want to make your own unit study, think about what you like to talk about and learn about. Than think about what interest your children. you want to research and learn with them, so pick something that interest you and them.

Decide on your Topic 

First get a pad of paper and write down about 5 things that interest each person that will be learning or teaching. you may see something right away. you may need to look and think about it.

Decide how long you want to study your topic

Do you want to study for a week or two? What about a month? Only you know how long you can keep your kids on one topic.

What subjects are you going to cover in your unit?

Are you going to cover math, and if so how? What about science and social studies, and history? this is not and hard as you might think. Just about every subject you study you can cover almost every subject.

 Like "House Cats" history= how they became house cats, math finding out how many breeds their are, science= looking at the body and seeing how it works.   

What supplies do you need for your unit? 

Each unit study will be different. Let your imagination go, think about different things you could do and write down all of your ideas. You may not use it this time but maybe next time.  

What field trips could you take and will you take? 

If your learning about cats go to a vets or a cat rescue. They love teaching others how to take care of animals.

Extra 

Think about things that would make it more fun or interesting for you at your child's age. and remember to follow any rulles or regulations you may have in your state.
