Independent Study: Astronauts

June 2, 2010 by Ami 6 Comments

Yesterday, Elijah asked if I would give him something about astronauts. I didn’t really know what to give him. He’s read the only two astronaut books we have (John Glenn: Young Astronaut and Neil Armstrong: Young Flyer) dozens of times. 

I decided to try something new for him–an independent study of sorts. So, last night I worked hard pulling together Astronaut Adventures. It’s a 4-day mini-unit for him to work through on his own. 

I usually share all my work at Homeschool Share (makes sense since I’m the girl behind the curtain), but this has too many links. I do not plan on updating this as the links break, so get it while it’s hot!

    Just wanted to say hi and that I love so much of what you post!! I can not wait for my daughter to be old enough to do the preschool activities you’ve been posting for your son. I also plan to let my son do this astronaut study over the summer. And today when you mentioned HSS I about lost it! I am not sure where I came across your blog – it was awhile ago, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE HSS and didn’t realize you were connected!!! Thank you for all the work you and the others put into it!

    This is amazing. It’s our first year homeschooling, and for my 3rd grade son with special needs, it has been a struggle so far. This is PERFECT. He is going to be so excited. Thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work.
