Advice from Homeschool Moms -- Unit Studies?
 

So I'm not considering homeschooling my kids long-term but they are out of school until at least May 1 and possibly/probably until the new school year in mid-August so I am looking for advice on a couple of unit studies I could pick up to give them something educational to do in the meantime.

They have worksheets and online work from school to do but I'd love to have something that both the 5yo and 10yo could do that's more hands-on and less screen-y. I am *not* interested in creating one from scratch or doing a bunch of grading or report-creating. I don't mind spending some money on something worthwhile but since this is a temporary stop-gap, I don't want to invest in an entire curriculum.

Can you recommend something like this to me? I'm a little overwhelmed at all the online choices. While we are Christian, the faith-based curricula I've found so far is too conservative-leaning for me to feel comfortable using it with my kids.

Thanks for any help you can give!

When I homeschooled we used a lot of Abeka products--they were my go to because they also had the materials I needed to do my Intent Paperwork in the beginning of the school year for the documentation of homeschool.

Some of my friends use
Sonlight:

BJU Press:

I think the best math program out there is Math U See

There are a lot of others out there, but it's late and I'm drawing a blank as it's been a few years since I homeschooled. I actually thought about ordering a 1st grade kit from Abeka for my son. But I'm going to see if I can keep him on pace with the stuff the school provided - both paperwork and online.

**you can knock out the faith portion of the curriculum so you don't have to use it while teaching--we never focused on that stuff as we did other stuff outside of schooling with our kiddos**

These are some of the one we use
