Volcano Lapbook

Tom has started a volcano lapbook. We are using some booklets from http://www.homeschoolshare.com/ and making our own.
He is still working on Wars of the Roses.
It's nice homeschooling because you can take a break from one thing and do another without worrying about being graded!!

BOOKS
Volcanoes by Neil Morris
Volcanoes and Earthquakes by Dr. Eldridge M. Moores
VOLCANO VIDEOS
VOLCANO CLIPART
VOLCANO INFORMATION ON THE WEB

AZTEC LAPBOOK FINISHED!

TOM DID ALOT OF WORK FOR THIS LAPBOOK. WE COULD KEEP ON GOING BUT I THINK WE WON'T. WE CAN ADD MORE AT ANOTHER TIME. THERE IS SO MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT THE AZTECS.




ABOVE, THE CLOTHING BOOKLET OPENS "THE OTHER WAY"; IT'S FLIPPED THE WRONG WAY. ;0)



BOOKS WE USED:
1. HOW TO BE AN AZTEC WARRIOR BY FIONA MACDONALD
2. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE AN AZTEC SACRIFICE BY FIONA MACDONALD
3. CLOTHES AND CRAFTS IN AZTEC TIMES BY IMOGENE DAWSON
4. MONTEZUMA AND THE FALL OF THE AZTECS BY ERIC A. KIMMEL
5. THE AZTECS BY ROBERT NICHOLSON
6. THE AZTEC EMPIRE BY SHEILA WYBORNY
7. THE AZTECS BY DONNA SHEPHERD
8. EXPLORING THE WORLD OF THE AZTECS BY ELAINE LANDAU
9. THE AZTEC INDIANS BY VICTORIA SHERROW
10. THE CRAFTS AND CULTURES OF THE AZTECS BY JOANN JOVINELLY
IN ONE OF THESE BOOKS, I THINK IT WAS 'CLOTHES AND CRAFTS', SHOWS YOU HOW TO MAKE A JAGUAR MASK. WE WILL BE DOING THIS SOON.
THE REPORT PAGES ARE FROM www.holdthatthought.com I have many of the cd's.
