The Nutcracker is one of those beloved Christmas classics.
But how much do your children (or YOU) really know about the story behind the ballet and its well loved music?
Each year I taught elementary school music we would study The Nutcracker IN DEPTH. There is so much to be learned from this ballet.

If you've never done a unit study about owls in your homeschool, you MUST. It's such fun!
A homeschool day at a local nature center was all about Birds of Prey - more specifically owls.
We were fortunate enough to see a wonderful Birds of Prey demonstration, followed by owl pellet dissection, and then visiting several injured birds of prey.
We are big fans of Interest Led Unit Studies around here, and while we have joined Classical Conversations this year, I can still tell that we will have time for some quick and enjoyable unit studies throughout the year.

Do you ever find yourself stumbling into a unit study?
This recently happened in our home. Finding one sweet book about Benjamin Franklin at a used book store led to asking the librarian to help us find further Ben Franklin resources, which led us to more and more resources.
