Mozart - Resources for a Unit Study

I am finally adding some music resources on here! LOL We "do" music all the time but we more or less just listen and discuss. Every once in a while we might do like we did with The Nutcracker and I will have them paint or draw how the music makes them feel or what it makes them think of.

This will be just the first of many art and music unit study resources that I will do here. I have Jackson Pollock on my next list (his Birthday is January 28th)! ;)

ANYWAY, Mozart's Birthday is January 27th and I thought there may be some people out there that will be needing some ideas and resources. ;)

I've been thinking about writing up a post on how we do nature studies. Is that of interest? I have tons of great pictures! :D

I've also been thinking about a post on my "methods"....... I consider myself an "eclectic" homeschooler. Any interest there?

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages.

Learning Factors and Multiples and Comparing Fractions

Cailey started learning about factors and multiples last week. At first she was having a lot of trouble remembering the difference between the two. So, I Googled. LOL I saw a lot of really cute ideas for helping kids learn the difference. The only problem? I can't draw. Not even decent stick people... SO, I made MY versions. ;)







Here are the 2 charts that I made. She keeps them in her Chair Buddy and pulls them out whenever she needs a little refresher.









Then I made little flip books so she could practice her tables, factors and multiples.



Here are some of the links that I came across in my search!

Squirrel Appreciation Day - Resources

Squirrel image - TheGraphicsFairy

I had written up a unit on penguins for Penguin Awareness Day (tomorrow) but then I realized, so had everyone else! LOL Do you really need another one? Probably not right now. So, I decided to go ahead and post the one I did for Squirrel Appreciation Day (January 21st). I haven't seen any of those yet! LOL

The thing is, a lot of bloggers do the same theme around the same time. Right after I posted the one for Winter Olympics, I saw dozens of others. DRAT!! If I had waited just a little longer I could have added them to my list! LOL The same with the penguins. I had my list all written out when I started seeing all the others. Now I'll just wait until the rest are done, add them to my list and post at a much later date. LOL Turn it from Penguin Awareness Day to just a study on penguins. ;)

I am at a loss as to what to do about the Iditarod unit. It has been really hard to find a lot of resources for it. Do I wait and see if any more come out? Or do I post it soon? Hmmm....

As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages.

A lot of the above books are also available for Kindle but are probably cheaper in paperback.
