Caterpiller Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well hello. :) I am in the process of deciding what unit studies I want to do with my kindergartner this year! I really want it to be interest based, and don't mind creating my own studies. (I actually thrive on that sort of thing. lol) I was wondering what topics YOUR children have enjoyed in the past, or topics you are excited about doing with them. :) I am debating between doing something based on literature, science, or geography. Or maybe a hodgepodge of different types of topics. I am hoping to figure out my direction by today. I already have several online unit studies I think would be excellent and just need to start choosing and adding my own twists (if need be) I already know how we are approaching reading and math, and really just want to do unit studies for fun. I think reading is the most important thing at this age followed by a lot of hands on play and crafts. I really want to keep it fun. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2boys030507 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am going to get the Curious George Paper Dolls for my Kindergartner and then we will read all the books together and see if that leads to other fun activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabrizia Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 We're doing mainly science unit studies for Kindergarten. We are going to do the human body, dinosaurs, space and the weather. We're also going to do a fairytale unit study and a Dr. Seuss unit study as well. Oh and prehistory as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My 5yo is working on the Human Body lapbook from Elemental Science. It's got science plus craftiness with putting together the lapbook, so a winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBanjoClown Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My Kindergartner and 2nd grader want a dinosaur unit study, so I'm working on that. I just don't know what to put in it because they already know so much about dinosaurs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiller Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 i decided to go with hodgepodge and base it around literature, then end strong with a 5 week unit on anatomy. :) Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
