Star Wars Day for Homeschoolers

If your homeschool family is a fan of the space film series Star Wars, then you probably already know that today is Star Wars Day.

Originally launched in 1977 depicting a galaxy “far, far away,” the franchise currently is composed of six films that were all nominated for Academy Awards. The next installment of the series is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2015.

Of course, one of the best benefits of homeschooling is the freedom to create your own units based on the favorite interests of your family and children.
