This week's Homeschool eStore freebie looks really nice: a unit study about Charlotte's Web.
Introduce your child to the amazing world inside Zuckerman's farm and into a web of learning! Based on the classic Charlotte's Web© by E. B. White, this unit study contains fascinating activities that deal with insects, friendships, animal classification, barn photography to name just a few. Using our unique approach to activities based on the whole child's needs, there are an amazing amount of activities to pick from to meet your child's needs and interests.

Resource of the Day: Join the Electronic Iditarod
While not a "unit study" in the strictest sense of the word, this resource can be easily morphed into one. You can vicariously live the Iditarod through the wonders of the Internet.
Participating classes will
- study the trail and musher biographies
- create a wall-sized map of the trail
- select a musher to follow in this year's race
- track the selected musher's progress as the race occurs
- post to each checkpoint's blog as the selected musher reaches each stop on the trail
- complete the problem solving tasks you find at each checkpoint's blog
- arrive in Nome vicariously with your selected musher
- receive an official 2006 eIditarod class certificate for completion of the trail!
Add in your own studies - library books, encyclopedias, internet research and more - and you will have a well rounded study of Alaska and the Iditarod race!
