Shining Dawn Books

He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. – Psalm 37:6

New Units and New Pricing

We have been diligently working to get THREE new units ready for your late summer and fall nature studies! We’d like to introduce:

Photobucket

Butterflies Flutter By – A unit packed full of caterpillar and butterfly information and activities.

Photobucket

Constant Conifers – A unit that takes you on an in-depth tour of the amazing conifer plant.

Photobucket

Fruits and Nuts – A unit that opens your eyes to the wonderfully varied and interesting world of edible and inedible fruits and nuts.

You’ll notice that the unit prices are a bit higher this time around. Why? Well, if you thought the first twelve units were full of great ideas and information, you won’t believe how much more extensive and full these three new units are!  Bringing nature study alive in your homeschool has never been easier!  In fact, because we’re so impressed with these new units, we are currently working on revamping ALL of the original twelve units. Slowly, but surely, each of the NaturExplorer units will be expanded and brought up to par with the three new units. As each unit is complete, you will notice its price change, too.

What  improvements can you expect with the new units?

  • More background information for the teacher
  • Expanded, more detailed indoor and outdoor activity ideas
  • Additional ideas in almost all sections
  • Many more notebooking pages – most units will have 15 or more!
  • Notebooking pages that are top-notch in interest and design
  • A better, easier to read layout
  • Fewer outside links, which means more detailed directions for various activities

We’ve really tried to make these your one-stop unit study!  With each of these new units being 60 pages or more, there are literally hundreds of ideas for all subject areas, besides math and phonics.  (In most units, though, you can find at least one or two math related ideas!)

Enough gushing!  How about a contest for THREE of you to win one of these incredible new units to try for yourself??  You will have until this coming Sunday (August 16th) to comment on this post.  We will draw winners on Monday, August 17th and announce them here.  Here are the rules:
