If your children/students are like mine, their eyes light up when presented with the occasional sweet treat. Why not use that excitement to teach a variety of subjects and concepts? "A Sweet Thematic Unit" uses cookies, candy, and ice cream to teach Math, Language Arts, and Science/Social Studies. Art activities are provided also. Before you panic with the thought of your kiddos being on a sugar rush all day, most of the activities are printables and do not involve consuming the sweet treats.
