I love unit studies when I'm teaching my kids and a great place to get ideas is Home School Share .
I love looking at this site to find books to read and then ways to use them to teach :)
I recently got the opportunity to try out a new study that isn't on the site yet and we had a great time (oh ya, and they're free, it doesn't get any better than that!)
Here is the birthday girl with the books we picked up from the library. Our study was about reptiles, and we were given a list of books to read (although you could get books on the subject yourself) but most of the books on the list I was able to find :)
There are pages to print that go along with the study, these are for preschool/ kindergarten age. I laminated this one and Ava used the Crayola whiteboard crayons to write on it and then erase. I love those crayons!

These 2 books are from Costco and I love them! Each one had a section about reptiles that really added even more to our study.
if you are interested in this kind of thing, check out the Home School Share site, I think these new studies will be there some time in August :)
