I recently joined a great group of homeschooling blogging moms who work together to gather ideas, activities, & printables to use in a unit study. Each month there are 3 or 4 different topics for unit studies that we share with you.
The first topic for August is Teaching Virtues. {Or Character Education}
I have gathered a few freebie printables, activities, and websites that will hopefully be a blessing and inspiration for you to piece together a great Virtues Unit Study.
