Fun (and Free!) Little Unit Study on Honeybees

By Kendra | October 31, 2008

The longer I have been homeschooling, the more and more free resources I see come on to the market.  Really, if you had a computer with internet access and a printer, you wouldn’t have to spend another dime to educate your kids.

Recently the younger kids (6th grade, 4th grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten) have been doing a series of lapbooks and unit studies on different subjects from nature.  We’re currently learning about Honey Bees, and so when this free little unit study put out by Haagen Dazs popped up on my radar, I was excited to find that it is perfect for my elementary students.

You can also go to the Help the Honey Bees site to learn more about Haagen Dazs’s efforts to bring the honey bees back to health.  We who live in California’s Central Valley appreciate that, and so should you: we produce a quarter of the nation’s food and fiber, crops which rely on pollination thanks to the honey bees.

Good stuff!  Yum!

    Hey Kendra,

    This is such a cute little freebie! I have a random question for you. I’m in the early research stage of homeschooling. My oldest in not quite three and I am trying to figure out what will work best for our family. I have narrowed my preferences down to Classical, Charlotte Mason and Sonlight (random) as my favorites. I see that you use Classical with your kids and was wondering if you have ever used any other methods in the past. Have you posted on why you chose the classical method? Have you ever used Sonlight?

    Thank you so much for taking the time to keep this blog up! It’s such a regular blessing to me!!

    Tiffany-

    I might have posted on our journey toward choosing the Classical method, but I need to check. If not, I’ll try to do so soon.
