Human Anatomy + Biblical Connections

As we prepare for our studies of human anatomy this fall, I am excited to announce the release of the Human Anatomy unit by Mia Borojevich.

The Plan vs. Reality

Benjamin Franklin Unit Study

One of my favorite benefits of homeschooling is the flexibility to embark on interest-led learning, especially in the early years. And there’s a certain someone in our family who enjoys projects and unit studies from Homeschool in the Woods.  [This, my friends, is a gross understatement.] In fact, this certain someone has specifically requested to […]
