Creation Exploration: A to Z

A collection of guided, multisensory nature-based science unit studies with cross-subject connections for learners in Kindergarten through 1st grade.

With Creation Exploration: A to Z, Scripture is the Source and center of early learning. Nature elements featured in the Bible are used to introduce letters and letter sounds as well as concepts in math, science, health & wellness and character development. 

Creation Exploration: A to Z features 28 unit study guides framed out just enough for you to follow without it feeling rigid. Built around intentionally curated and strictly vetted picture book lists, each unit study offers guidance for what to read and how you can enjoy learning through play.

Structure

Each unit study features 4 components:

1. True North Devotion to connect what you're learning about our world to God's Word
2. Learning Orientation to introduce the unit theme and prompt you with questions to spark wonder, living book recommendations to enjoy, and a few academic takeaways to anchor your learning.
3. Play Prompts to integrate learning across subjects and take the guesswork out of relevant (and realistic!) hands-on learning activities.
4. Expansion Activities to extend learning and savor every moment of your child's curiosity.
