My Favorite Online Unit Studies

One of my favorite Online Unit Studies is Famous Artists Volume 1. It’s just like the other Online Unit Studies in that you use the course to learn about a subject (in this case, an artist and his style) and do online projects. The difference is that there is a hands-on project as well since kids are creating art!. See my kids in action with the lesson on Wassily Kandinsky and Synesthesia here.

Another Online Unit Study I love is Famous Birthdays. In this study, your kids will learn about 2 famous people each month. So fun!
