Posted in Lapbooks

We did this lapbook for the Walk Through History event described in yesterday's entry. We chose Washington because out focus was Colonial Times and it just happened the History event was the day after President's Day. Here is the cover of our lapbook:


 


Here is the first opening. On the lower right is an example of Jake's copywork (from one of George's copywork lessons). On the left is a map of the 13 colonies, a colonial flag, picture of Betsy Ross, a timeline of Washington's life (on the coat) and 2 mini-books which detail more biographical info.


 


Below are 2 shape books on the left. Each contain a narration that corresponds with the Childhood Of Famous Americans biography (George, Martha). I found George online, but actually ended up drawing Martha and I think it came out just fine, too! ;0 On the lower rightis a printable from our HandsofaChild Project Pack which includes biographical info on GW. The pizza book on the right is titled George Washington's Friends and includes mini-biographies on several famous people of his time.


 


Here is an open view of the Pizza Book.


 


This is a view of the above flap folded down. These 2 pages are described individually below.


 


Below left is a printable pocket I got as a free sample (I think it was the Declaration of Independence Project Pack) at HandsofaChild Inside are some famous quotes. On the right is a teacup shape book that I just drew and cut out. On the outside is a narration of the Boston Tea Party chapter in Meet George Washington and inside is a picture of the event.



 


Below on the left side is a really neat little book titled "Presidential Cabinet Members" and its in the shape of a cabinet!! This was part of our Project Pack from HandsofaChild Also, included in the pack were the crown/ presidential seal printables that we glued to our Venn Diagram (rights/ responsibilities of King v President) on the right. At the bottom is a cute song I found on the net "If you're know who's on the quarter, clap your hands. If you know who's on the dollar, clap your hands. If you know who was president number one, then you've really learned a ton, so clap your hands!"
