Episode 222: Short Bite - An example of a simple Homemade Unit Study (The Trees and Plants of the PNW) Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we discuss how Matt made a small unit study around trees and plants in our area. This was something he wanted to teach the children and we discuss the details of what he's doing. But, the episode is a larger example of how we can build homemade unit studies, and fold that learning into our lives without it feeling like 'school'.
