Unit Studies: All About Policemen

May 31st 2007 12:41

Unit study is a method often used by homeschoolers. This means that a specific topic or subject is introduced to a child, incorporating the lesson in various learning activities. Let me give you an example of a unit study, here I will give you resources to learn more about policemen.

Police History
Learning About Policemen Through Crafts
Lesson Plans About Law Enforcement and other related stuff
Easy Reader: Police Officer Nadine Jojola
Printable Coloring Pages
Virtual Museum: Canadian Military Police

Unit studies is a fun, systematic way of teaching children that both teachers and parents can use to enrich a child's learning. I plan on putting up more unit study ideas soon.

Lot's of cool stuff on the web.

First let me say thank you to all my fellow Orblers who extended their condolences. Your kind words are much appreciated.

My daughter informed me yesterday that she scored 100% on her spelling test, which of course pleased me. But honestly though, I haven't paid much attention to teaching her how to spell and her pleasant announcement reminded me of that.

I Hate Goodbyes

May 9th 2007 19:36

Yes, I do. But really, who out there is fond of goodbyes? I reckon we all hate it, but as with everything in life, there will come a time when we have to say goodbye.

So long Ed, you will be greatly missed.

I recently lost my eldest brother, it was so sudden. He died of a heart attack, it happened while he was in his office. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors struggled to revive him. But after several agonizing tries, my brother passed away. He was married, a father to two young girls ages 10 and 6.
