I have shared before about the books we have used and projects we have done and so forth, but this blog post is more about how you could bring a theme or specific interest that your child has all together to build a full curriculum based on that. My child's special interest is rabbits-- how can that be enough to cover all the subjects? We have covered (with bunnies!) reading, writing, math, history, science, good citizenship, geography, art and some practical life skills.

| Three thinking tree books that are quite rabbit themed! |
The two on the left are basically the same style inside "core journal" type that you can use many books with and they could easily be used one after the other if your child goes through it more quickly. The core funschool books are how they can practice writing and art and keep some variety and surprise in the "work book" part of school. I like having something to look back at and see what they were learning and each stage. The Bible verse one on the right is learning spelling of course, but in the context of Bible verses! You can see a video showing the inside of the Bible verse books here. and to see the insides of the two core journals (along with some others to compare) the video to see inside those two is here.
