Frugal Home Education
Listening to the CD while working in the kitchen, my thoughts began to crystallize. Of course! This tale of men of honor from the past, who sacrificially gave their lives to allow women and children to be the first to survive, would make an excellent unit study!
Having had the privilege of teaching my children at home for over 20 years, frugal home education has always been an area to encourage my creativity and resourcefulness. Now as I continued to listen to deeds of bravery and courage, I began to plan a unit study.
The topics could be endless as I considered some cataclysmic events such as:
The Titanic
The Birkenhead.
Then there were the men who encouraged manliness:
Teddy Roosevelt
Lord Baden Powell
William Wallace.
My study could also include:
The Study of Shipbuilding
The Spanish America War
The Boy Scouts.
And of course I could include the subjects of :
History
Language Arts
Science
Art.
There were so many ways to approach this idea. I could listen again with pen in hand and pick the topics that could be easily woven into our present areas of study, or Youngest Son and I could listen together and he could choose the topics most interesting to him.
In case you are interested the 2 Cd set I was listening to is The Heroism of the Fathers is the Legacy of the Sons. And yes, I will tell you that I am an affiliate of Vision Forum (LINK) Also, if you too enjoy listening to Cds, Check out the Kit and Kaboodle Library sale - 40 Cds for $99.00! That is around $2.50 per Cd! It sure works for me!
What about you? Any more frugal tips for home education?
