What is unit studies?
Integrate Subjects
Watch a family using KONOS. Instead of isolated subjects, their kids
become wholly immersed in a theme. It’s meaningful, because all the
subjects fit together. In the Attentiveness unit, children learn about the
eye and its importance. They learn from Scripture that the eye is the
window to the heart (Bible), do many science experiments like dissecting a
cow’s eyeball (science), read poetry and idioms related to the eye
(language/literature), use eyes to sketch and paint (art/crafts), sing
"Be careful little eyes, what you see" (music), write reports on
the causes of blindness (health/safety and writing), read biographies of
Helen Keller and Louise Braille (reading/history), and practice being
attentive to the needs of one another (character).
