Forests · Ancient Egypt · The Solar System · The World in Maps · The Homeschool Year

The first volume. Five unit studies that start where curiosity does - under a tree, beside a river, out at the planets, and across a map of the world.

The five units

I Forests - the living canopy
Layers of a wood · how a leaf feeds a tree · eight trees to know		 pp. 6–13
II Ancient Egypt - the gift of the river
The flood year · who was who · writing in pictures		 pp. 14–21
III The Solar System - our neighborhood in space
Eight planets to scale · why we have seasons · moon phases		 pp. 22–29
IV The World in Maps - continents, oceans, lines
Reading a map · the seven continents · latitude and climate		 pp. 30–37
V The Homeschool Year - planners and records
Year plan · twelve-week term · reading log · skills tracker		 pp. 38–45

Back matter: answer key for all eight worksheets, pages 46–47.

How it works

Print one unit at a time - eight pages is roughly two weeks of short lessons. Read the read-aloud pages out loud (about three minutes each), put the poster on the wall, and keep the worksheets for last. Thirty minutes a day is a full lesson, and the same page works for a five-year-old and a twelve-year-old at the same table.

What you get

  • 47 pages, US Letter, plus a cover - a single PDF, ready to print at home
  • Five unit studies: opener, two read-aloud pages, two diagrams, a wall poster and two worksheets each
  • Original watercolour artwork throughout, at 300 dpi
  • Answer key for all eight worksheets, so nobody has to look anything up
  • Parent guide, printing guide and a progress tracker in the front matter
  • Prints fine in grayscale - no exercise depends on telling one colour from another
  • Also prints on A4 at “fit to printable area”

Ages

5–12, multi-age by design. Each page carries three levels: what the youngest listens to, what the middle reads aloud, and what the oldest writes.
