Thanksgiving Resources

Posted by Cindy on November 5, 2009

This list of resources will be in the sidebar for a little while, too, but I wanted to be sure those who use blog readers have a chance to see this list before Thanksgiving! We won’t be doing a Thanksgiving unit this year, but several books will be in books baskets and book nooks around the house. Here are some of my favorites.

Spring Nature Study Ideas

Posted by Cindy on May 28, 2009

I put up a summer nature study section for the sidebar.  Here are the spring nature study references – there are some goodies in here that I don’t want to forget for next spring!  And I don’t want to toot my own horn too much, but the NaturExplorer units are perfect resources for any season – including summer!  :)

Artist Study – Paul Cezanne

Posted by Cindy on May 11, 2009

Well, I shamefully admit that you may see Cezanne in the sidebar again next school year.  We finished up school around the middle of April and when we were done, we were DONE!  Artist and composer study didn’t happen.  The way I look at it – I’m one step ahead of the game as the new school year approaches!  LOL

Here are the sidebar references for Cezanne for your sake and mine!

Winter Nature Study Ideas

Posted by Cindy on February 23, 2009

Here’s one more list to prove I’m still ready for spring!  I’m getting rid of the winter nature study ideas in the sidebar to make room for warm spring ideas soon.  :)

Westward Expansion Resources

Posted by Cindy on February 16, 2009

We’re nearing the end of our Westward Expansion unit, so I’m moving the resources from my sidebar into a post for future reference.  I’ll be adding Slavery and Civil War resources to the side bar over the next few days.
