Whether you have one child or eight, you’ll love these adaptable lessons for all ages and abilities. This Gardening Unit Study has family-style lessons in 3 main levels of difficulty to help you meet your child at the level they are currently working, instead of some arbitrary grade level.
In general, the 3 levels are split into these corresponding categories:
- Preschool up to 2nd grade
- Upper Elementary, 3rd to 5th grades
- Middle & High School, 6th to 12 grades
Feel free to mix and match with the lessons and activities for the three different levels to find activities that best suit your children and their individual learning styles.
I recommend selecting the individual activities that will slightly challenge your child so that they can grow in their abilities and skills.
Click on one of the Main Subject categories below to find all 3 levels of lessons (preschool to high school) for that Main Subject. Or select the Preschool Unit for just Early Learners lessons.
Many of the printables for our unit studies are available for FREE in the Free Resource Library as INDIVIDUAL downloads for subscribers. As a convenience for you (and to support my ability to continue to create more resources for you), you can also get the printables in ONE Download from the WCH Resource Store.
