Aztecs and Wars of the Roses

We have taken a short break away from the Aztec lapbook. We are working on the Wars of the Roses which will be very short. Afterwards, we will finish the Aztecs. It was just taking so long that it was getting boring. I will post the Wars of the Roses when finished.

Hinge on the back of USA "Lapbook"

The folders are overlapped maybe an inch. I trimmed the upper part of the overlap and glued the lower part.

Look at the other pictures below and you'll be able to see where the folds are.

I Hope you can understand this.

United States "Lapbook"

Katie and Ana have started a United States "Lapbook"

It doesn't have booklets but opens up to a big U.S.A.

I used two regular sized file folders.

They are coloring in the states and will be adding the names.

On the parts of the file folder that do not have anything on them, I am thinking of having the girls put the state flags on and also the state abbreviations.

I will add 3 tabs on the outside so they can be put into a binder.

I was very surprised at how excited the girls were to do this.

Update 3/20/09: We are almost done. I have to make another flap for the girls and then they can glue their booklets on. Oh, we also have to get the names of the states printed out and glued on. They are doing a great job!

The booklets are from: www.enchantedlearning.com you can get a membership for $20.00 a year...I find it is worth it. I've been using this site since Becca started homeschool in 2002. (It was free then!)
