How to put Together a Unit Study | Birds | Zoology Waldorf Inspired

Описание: There's always excitement when I put together a new unit. It's the same excitement you might feel at the start of the new homeschool year. I love looking for new resources and assembling a nice balance of books and activities. It's not always fun though. Sometimes I hit creative roadblocks or in other cases, I'm overwhelmed by too many choices.

In general this is what I look for when putting together a unit:
-Non-fiction books with a lot of illustrations or photographs
-Picture books
-Novels or fictions or historical fictions (if it's a history unit) that I can read aloud to my children
-Activity books
-Cookbooks or recipes
-Kits
-Field trip or class opportunities
-Biographies
-Games

For this unit, I also got a set of flashcards that were gorgeous, but I don't know how I'm going to incorporate it into the unit. That happens sometimes, I find things that are beautiful and in the very least, they become drawing inspiration.

For this unit, I had a number books. In fact, most of my units have a lot of books, but for this unit, I didn't have a lot of projects planned and I got no kits except the Owl Dissection Field Biology Kit. Thankfully, a lot of project ideas came from the books we read. I love it when that happens. And thankfully, we have a lot of creative art supplies on hand, so when the inspiration hit, we were ready!
