Expedition Australia

G'day mate! My boys and I have been on an adventure to the outback of Australia! If you love doing unit studies with your children, or even if you are a bit skeptical of them, you really should try out the download and go series. We have done the Expedition Australia and it was a blast. Each unit study is a week long(5days), but can easily be used as a 2-week study if you wanted to. The studies are suggested for grade K-4th grade. I have a 1st grader and pre-K and they both enjoyed this study. It had a variety of activites to do with the children and even videos to watch. My boys and I watch a video on The Great Barrier Reef and also one on koalas in the Australia Zoo. My sons loved learning different Australian words also. My monkey(pre-k son) has been asking for "lollies"(candy) all week.

I loved that all I had to do was print what I needed for the day and I was ready. A book list is also provided to go along with each day, which is great for library trips. This product offers many different themes. There is one on Amelia Earheart, Birthday, Winter Wonders, and more! The Download and Go series is put together by Amanda Bennett and The Old Schoolhouse. You can check all of the themes out on their website http://downloadngo.com/index.php You can pick one theme for $7.95 or choose to get a month, that's four different studies for $30. I thought the best things about this product is that first of all, my boys learned so much during this study. Secondly, it kept their attention! :)
