There is an Advent wreath, the Nikolaus comes, there are all the German Advent and Christmas songs, they celebrate St. Lucia, and normally have a Christmas play. I love to go there during this time because everything is so German and familiar. <br /><br />Your ideas for unit studies sound good. I normally do them in history, geography, sometimes literature, science, and certain math topics (measurement and money for example). I think it really depends on interest and resources. It also matters if you want to do something like that for all children, a few children, or just a particular child. I tried to do something with virtues once, Emmanuel Books used to sell a program called P.A.C.E, but I never got very far with it and finally sold it. It felt too artificial. I think logic is better done a bit here, a bit there, and I don't do that until my children are about 14. I myself do not enjoy this at all, so I just give them books to read, like the ones from the Bluedorn Family. So I would say, whatever you feel comfortable with, whatever your children seem ready for, and whatever fits into your overall lessons would be good for a unit study.

The spiral is not part of my childhood, but it has been part of my children's lives. It does make Advent extra special.

The gnomes are adorable!<br /><br />Thank you for your thoughts on formal lessons during the first two weeks of Advent. We are focusing on Advent Adventure by Holy Heroes, baking, and gift making. I was hoping to include a unit study of virtues that we need more time for than our usual school day allows. However, so far, we don't have time for the unit study now either-- which subjects do you do as unit studies? I'm thinking I will have to rotate out a subject in order to fit in some unit studies that I think would be good. I'm looking at: Shakespeare, logic, virtues, fairy tales, and finances as unit studies. Thoughts? Thank you! <br /><br />God bless,<br />BarbaraDeacon Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826386402925060912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-20154674916043527642014-12-03T12:21:05.372-05:002014-12-03T12:21:05.372-05:00Wunderschön!
