Farm and Food Unit Study for Kids

Farm and Food Unit Study for Kids

Use beautiful and educational books for a Charlotte Mason inspired morning basket.

Teach kids about global food and farming in 2 days a week. One day covers seasonal farm rhythm , the second day covers global food cuisine and geography.

After reading the farm books there is a ‘discuss, design, make and draw’ section. Students will do fun things like design a chicken coop or corn maze, enjoy notebooking the anatomy of animals or making things like butter or bread for some old fashioned skills.

Students will also enjoy learning about geography and trying new recipes after reading your global cuisine food books.

This unit is a gentle introduction to the world of food and encourages notebooking and copywork after reading the books together for Charlotte Mason inspired learning.
