Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett. has given us a new study called Expedition Israels. This is part of the Expedition Series, this is where you can find all the titles in that series.
You know, I expected my lad to enjoy this study as much as he did Expedition Ireland, but it wasn't as much of a hit. not sure why...other than the Canaan Dog on the first day...hmm... Perhaps that's what caused him to not want to go further with it, or maybe it was just that we had a crazy busy week and he needed downtime (playtime more than he needed book/computer work). I suspect the latter more than the former. So bear that in mind as I do this review. :)
We completed one day.. Day One. We got Day Two done!
This is how the days are laid out for Study
Day 1: Where on Earth Is Israel?
Day 2: Some of the Special Places in Israel
Day 3: A Bit of History
Day 4: Cool Things to Know About Israel
Day 5: Fun and Games in Israel
I have to admit, we did have some good learning go on with Day One.
We read books, had fun finding Israel on a map and we even looked up different ways to get there from where we live... by boat and by plane. AND even going by plane/boat and driving by vehicle. So it was quite interesting. I have plans to do at least one, perhaps two more days this upcoming week. To my son's chagrin the animal of the day was a dog.. "I DON"T LIKE DOGS MOMMY!" But we did have fun learning if we could pick up said dog... we decided it would be easy for mommy, but not so easy (but still doable) for a five year old as long it was a smaller one and didn't move.
Just so what do you get with a DownloadN'Go study published by Amanda Bennett Unit Studies? You get a pack with everything well laid out for you. You get child friendly graphics, Vocabulary, lapbook activities, note booking activities, tons of videos to watch and actually SEE what you are talking/learning about, a variety of different types of activities so you aren't doing the same thing over and over again. They are quite interesting to do.
These lesson cover all sorts of subject areas: history, geography, science, math, english, arts, religion and more. They are well done studies and I enjoy doing them.
Here's a pic so you can see:
Once again, Expedition Israel is well worth your time to check out. This lesson contains the following: a geographic feature of the day, animal of the day, food of the day, a daily hero of Israel, Biblical events, and a Hebrew word of the day. We are planning this coming week to have the grandparents up for an Israeli meal. Should be fun to do that. :)I do need to mention that I was given a copy of this study so that I could give you my honest review of it.
