Description
“Hello! … Hello! … Hello!” The life of a lighthouse, its keeper and his family; day and night, wind and waves, through the years—until things change.
The Five in a Row Mini Unit is a digital unit study. A new Mini Unit will be published each month based on a children’s picture book (like the FIAR units from volumes 1-3).
Each mini unit will include a lesson for each of the five subjects that you find in Five in a Row units: Social Studies/Geography, Language, Art, Applied Math, and Science … designed for ages 4-8-years-old and up. There will be specific teaching tips, ideas, suggestions for go-along books for ages 4-8 (and up).
There will be a section of suggestions, ideas, go-along books, and or teaching tips for ages 2-4 that will have a Before Five in a Row focus.
The Mini Unit will also include a section for Beyond Five in a Row students. Beyond students will enjoy studying the lessons provided for the Five in a Row section but will have two additional lessons that are designed to help older students dig deeper into the FIAR lesson subject matter. There will also be specific ideas, suggestions, and go-along books for ages 8-12.
Activity pages that pair with specific lessons will be available at the end of each unit for additional learning opportunities.
Color and black and white story disks are included with each Mini Unit for use with some geography lessons and placement on a world or U.S. map.
The Mini Unit will also include a recipe or food suggestions to enjoy together that ties into the story!

We love this mini-unit, keep ’em coming! I really appreciate how all ages are included in one lesson, this is so convenient. I also really like the book selection. My only suggestion is to add a parent’s devotional and kids devotional to the less like the ones in “More Before Five in a Row”. Those devotionals are so enriching for me and my family! Thank you so much for all your great material. We recommend Five in a Row to everyone!

This was the first mini unit that I did with my 11 and 7 year old sons. We all enjoyed it! The boys really liked the activities that went along to solidify the lessons from the story. It’s not often that they ask me to do something, but they are looking forward to us doing the next unit.
