Looking for a November Unit Study?

November is a good time to switch things up and explore a topic your kids are interested in. If you're looking for ideas, here are a few we have come to love that can easily turn into a week (or more!) of learning:

Harvest & Food Systems – Where does our food come from? Explore farming, food production, and food preservation.

Veterans Day & Military History – Learn about the history of Veterans Day, military traditions, and stories from different generations.

Food Around the World – Explore different cultures through their foods, recipes, and traditions.

Weather & Changing Seasons – Track temperatures, study weather patterns, and learn why the seasons change.

Inventions That Changed Everyday Life – Explore inventors, discoveries, and how everyday things came to be.

The best part about unit studies is that one topic can lead to so many different lessons, from history and science to geography, reading, and hands-on activities.

Halloween has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the transition from harvest season to winter. Over time, Celtic traditions blended with Christian observances, including All Saints’ Day. Irish and Scottish immigrants later brought many Halloween customs to North America, where traditions like costumes, jack-o’-lanterns, and trick-or-treating continued to evolve.
It’s an easy way to turn Halloween into a history lesson without opening a textbook!

Mid-year PCS moves are a reality for military families. For the kids caught in the middle, the timing is never good.

Fall orders can mean leaving a classroom they finally felt comfortable in. Saying goodbye to a teacher who knew their style. Starting over in a new school where friendships are already formed and the routines are already set.

For military-connected children, this kind of disruption happens more than you’d think. It is not a choice. It is an order. And every military-connected child deserves a soft landing, no matter when the next move comes. 💜

The holidays can make the homeschool schedule look a little different. From family traditions, visitors, travel, and everything else this time of year brings, some days may look more like learning on the go than a regular school day.

How does your homeschool handle the holiday season? Do you keep your usual routine or take a break?
