Free Homeschool Unit Studies
This free homeschool resource unit is brought to you by Vicki Arnold of the Vicki Arnold blog.
Beatrix Potter remains popular among families far and wide. In honor of her birthday (July 28, 1866), I have put together a list of resources and ideas for studying four of her beloved books and Ms. Potter herself. I’ve organized them by books so you can easily find the resources you need.
