Wow, while we read about the kings "I" keep learning more and more.

Tom's Progress

Other paperdolls for World Lapbook

go to the right and click cutouts.

World Lapbook...more

The girls have started their world lapbook. We color in a country, color a "world paper doll", cutout the flag and make a booklet. Katie also writes the name of the country in the booklet. I write Ana's. They also play with their world paper doll stickers. When we are finished with all of that, we will glue in the booklets. Oh, they will also do a map legend which I still have to finish and print out. I'm sure there will be more things added as we go along.

Tom hasn't started his lapbooks yet. It has been a crazy week, already.

Have a great day!

World Lapbook Continued

I'm starting to put together the World Lapbook booklets and ideas for Katie and Ana.

Flower Lapbook or craft

This is a flower craft the kids did today. For a lapbook you could make a one page booklet or accordian booklet out of the flowers middle and have them write names of flowers or a sentence about flowers. You could do the same for the sun and write the word sun or sentence.
For an older child, if they are learning another language they could write the words or sentences in that other language inside the booklets. You could also make the flower leaf into a booklet to write "leaf or leaves". (I thought of all this when we were done. ~smile~)

Hope this helps someone.

Tom's Fish

Today the kids made fish out of envelopes. They sealed the envelopes and then cut off one end for the mouth and used that cut off piece for a fin. Now you can open up the fish from the mouth side.
The picture below is of Tom's fish. He glued them inside a file folder and used popcorn kernels and beans for the sand. He used the colored foam with the sticky backs for the seaweed.
Here is an idea for you. If you make these fish and put it together like a lapbook, you could put a booklet in each "mouth" (maybe shaped like another fish).
Hope this helps!!

Tom has worked on his space lapbook but we have been getting ready for my son's wedding and trying to get things done around the house. The lapbook probably will not be up for at least 2 weeks.
I think I need a little break. :)

Visitors

I've been amazed at all the visitors this blog has had. Alot of these visitors have been from around my area and some have been literally only 10-15 minutes away!

Tom is still working on the Space Lapbook. He has been working on a few mini reports for this.
Katie and Ana have not started their world map lapbook yet. Mom's fault!

Keep visiting!
