Henry VIII Book

I believe we will be making the H. VIII Lapbook a regular book out of legal sized file folders. We will glue them side by side and use duct tape for the binding. Then we will use scrapbooking paper to decorate the cover and pages. (Hope this works...~smile~)

Taking our Time

So sorry that the Henry VIII lapbook is taking so long. Life gets in the way. Also, we have found so much that it is getting bigger all the time. I was thinking of just putting these into a scrapbook album or notebook, etc. I'm not sure yet.
Tom wants to do explorers and pirates next.
Did you know that some explorers were pirates? Believe it or not, I didn't know. (Where did I go to school??) I have read alot of books and never knew this...boy, do I feel stupid.
Today Tom made some ships knots to get started. Now, if we really wanted to, we could "tie" this into Henry VIII's ship the 'Mary Rose'. And also continue with explorers from H. VIII's time. See, you can build onto any lapbook and make it grow.
