This journal is designed for homeschoolers who are typically reluctant writers. The activities in this journal are geared toward minimal handwriting and academics while embracing maximum education.
Using your child's interest in food and nutrition they can research, study, discover and test out the best ways to increase their knowledge and experience on the topic of food, home economics and agriculture practices.
It is structured to be used 4 days a week for 9 weeks (about the time for one quarter/term) completing 6 pages per day.
Simply use library books or online documentaries to discover and record their discoveries in their own unique ways.
With pages for recording information from other fact books, a comprehensive curriculum can be facilitated.
Add in your own Math program and all the basics are covered.
Great for homeschoolers just starting out, wanting to expand on unschooling, or simply kids with an interest in restaurants, chef careers and food technology.
Topics covered include:
Spelling
Media Study
Science observation
Career study
Meal planning
History of food products and farming

Agricultural practices
Fun images and food-related vocabulary all throughout to leverage the interest of farming and food in education and knowledge growth.
Designed for one termβs use - 4 days per week for 9 weeks. Or less often for an extended curriculum.
I specifically had 9-14 year olds in mind when I planned the outline but older or younger learners can use it too.
These are structured unit study journals that cover many school subjects around one core topic.
The difference between Foundation Journals and other unit study journals are the planned daily activities, and with some, weekly topics that all build on the other.
Learners can make use of books, documentaries, and online information to research and discover the information for each activity.
