Buildzi Towers Game

I bought this book 4 years ago right after Valerie Bendt merged four of her books into one book with some updated information I bought it because I had been homeschooling for nine years using textbooks and I was looking for a better way to educate my five children (I now have six children: ranging from newborn to 18 years old) Valerie does a wonderful job of explaining what unit studies are and how to conduct your own unit studies I read the book cover to cover when I first got it and I have read it many times since then Not only does she tell us how to put together our own studies but there are glimpses into her children's lives so you get to see how well unit studies work It�s even more interesting to go to her current website now that her five oldest children are out of high school and see what different paths they took in life; yet all are successful Her book helped me to learn how to homeschool many children of differing ages all at the same time and keep our family unity in tact As a bonus there are about 30 sample unit studies included in her bookThis book has now become my favorite "homeschooling help for mom" book I highly recommend it How have unit studies helped my family? My younger children like to be able to help pick the topics that we study Wouldn�t you be more inclined to get excited about something that you want to learn? One of my teenaged boys prefers unit studies because they are more �realistic� to him that dry textbooks are He now knows much more history than I do and even participates in Civil War Reenactments My oldest son had a combination of textbooks and unit studies during high school and is now on his way to becoming an engineer
