Laura Ingalls Wilder Unit Study

Now that the 2024–2025 homeschool year is in full swing, I would like to introduce you to Thrift Schooling's Platinum Sponsor for the year—Notgrass History. While some states begin in August and others in September, for the most part, many of us have several weeks of the new year under our belt. I hope you are getting into your groove! Our groove right now is a tradition that spans many years, from when my teenagers were little. When they were little we ventured through the entire Little House on the Prairie book series reading every single book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's initial series, including Farmer Boy. What I was missing then was a quality unit study to go along with the books. We read the books, and attempted a few recipes but I did not have an affordable unit study to work through with them. The whole time we read the books (which takes a decent amount of time), I was wishing I had a study to help move things along.

I am excited to share that now with my younger kids coming up, I have been introduced to the perfect unit study to use alongside our daily read aloud. Each school day, after our daily Bible chapter, we snuggle on the couch to read Little House in the Big Woods. I look forward to working through this entire series, again, with my younger children. Now that I have the Notgrass History Laura Ingalls Wilder Unit Study my kids have been having a rich educational experience.

For only $15, your purchase includes both online and printable components that you can use independently or while reading through the Little House series. This unit study can be used in several ways:

Biographical Study
Stand Alone Unit Study
Supplemental Study

However you choose to use this study, you will not be disappointed. The best part is that older children can work through this study with minimal to zero parental involvement if that is something that is on your radar. Assign this course for older kids to work on while you are homeschooling younger ones. Parent of a single upper elementary or older homeschooler? This provides an excellent opportunity for your child to learn time management skills on their own. The online format makes this unit study easy to follow, easy to use, and it gives your student a strong sense of accomplishment as she works through each of the tasks.

This self-paced unit study includes video links, downloadable worksheets, craft ideas, historical facts, field trip ideas, and so much more! Even though I am currently reading Little House in the Big Woods, this unit study is not about a single book, it is about the author. Learn more about each of her books and most importantly about her and her family—stage by stage.

The year is young! Purchase your Notgrass History Laura Ingalls Wilder Unit Study today to use in your homeschool this coming school year. This is the perfect addition to any homeschool, any time of year! I am using throughout the school year but this could also be used as a stand-alone study during the upcoming holidays which will be here before you know it. Snag this unit study for only $15 and learn the real story of one of the most beloved authors of all time.

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
