I'm pre-reading Hitty - The First Hundred Years-- and I really like the possibilities of the many rabbit trails. Are there any good unit studies out there? I know Above and Beyond Fiar has one -- is it worth the money? I know its for 7th graders, but could I do it with my littles? Any other studies out there?

Hello Mary,

Five in a row has a unit study on Hitty. It is in the Above and Beyond Five in a Row Group.
Bet you will like it.

I haven't done it yet (the FIAR unit), but a dear friend of mine who is very relaxed schooling minded did it with a 9th grader and a 5th grader and *loved* it.

Thanks folks -- after having pre-read, I think we'll wait till the spring or summer to "row" it...

Does anyone else have a unit study suggestion?

I noticed recently that Live and Learn Press has a lot of unit studies that are geared to middle/older elem. students.

I'm getting ready to start Beyond FIAR with my almost 11 yr old dd in January. I picked up a lapbooking kit for two of them to make life more interesting (Sarah Plain and Tall at HOAC and Homer Price at FIAR digital). I can't say I've used it yet, but I've read the manuals a million times now and like what I see. I think they'd be very easy to include your littles in since the stories are fun. I'd start with vol. 1 though, because the least serious books are in that one (Boxcar Children, Homer Price, Thomas Edison and one more that escapes me at the moment).
