Intro to Anne of Green Gables Unit Study

We Must Care for Orphans

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

My girls and I really enjoyed the movie version of Anne of Green Gables especially the music. So take a few moments to enjoy this music score from the movie.

Anne of Green Gables Unit Study

The Anne of Green Gables unit is designed for elementary grade level students. This unit will be filled with ideas, pictures and videos to expand your study. My plans are to have an audio version read by me from The Great Classics for Children. Anxiously my daughters are chopping at the bit for they cannot wait until this is up and running. Please check back in a couple of weeks to see the progress!
