The Old Schoolhouse Magazine® is giving away a very neat resource. It's an 80+ page unit study & lapbook about Autumn! Here in Maine, Autumn is waning fast & winter is coming on strong, but the leaves are still beautiful & falling all around us. I know that some of you don't have the wonderful seasonal changes we have here in the northeast (okay, I may say something different in a few months when there is all that white stuff on the ground) but what a great way to talk about what seasons look like in other parts of the US and world.
These are new projects from TOS that include a one week unit study with lapbook components to help reinforce the learning. The term "download n go" describes how easy they are to use. They are designed for just that - download them & use them. Easy-peasey.

I will add this - I have DSL & it took me forever to get this resource downloaded. I have heard from friends with dial-up who cannot get it to download for them as it's such a large file. Thankfully the product stays in your account for 30 days & you get 20 downloads of it (I'm now down to 11). I ended up having to close all other programs & just let this download go in order for it to work. Although this was a bit frustrating, it was worth the wait though!
Happy Autumn!

I have fairly good dsl and it took me 3 or 4 tries to download it.
ReplyDeleteWe have only done a few of the activities so far but they were fun. I'm thinking of it more as a fall season unit study rather than a week long study. LOL
