I remember when my kids were in preschool, the teacher would work with the local library to get books that matched the learning theme of the week.
It inspired me to start that tradition in my own home — and has lead to a wonderful relationship with our local librarians. I love working with our local librarians to help fill in any gaps I have… the toughest one was my list of Jazz books, which is personally one of my favorite book lists.
Along with my book lists, I’ve worked with a number of other fabulous bloggers to create a whole list of free study unit resources you can use in homeschool or for a classroom curriculum.
