Posted in Lapbooks

I'm updating this post from last year to include resources (see bottom.)

This lapbook is just a file folder with one extension on the right. On the back of this extension we have "Our Class Compact" Proverbs 17:17 "A friend loves at all times". On the left is a map of the Mayflower voyage. Bottom left is a mini-factbook on the Mayflower.  Below is the folder opened. On the top left is a removable sailing ship stick-book (say that 5 times really fast! lol) Under that is a trunk booklet and inside is a list of items we would take with us if we went on the Mayflower voyage.The center insert is the back of a placemat (shown in next picture) that has instructions for planting/ harvesting/ cooking maize. Center bottom is a mini-factbook on the Piligrim's First Year. On the right is a copy of the front of a Nest Entertainment Activity book on William Bradford, The First Thanksgiving.  Here is the fold-out of the above insert. It is a placemat with a "now and then" comparison of Thanksgiving Day menus. Included is a picture of Jake & Haley enjoying their Thanksgiving meal.

Here are some of the resources we used to make this lapbook:
Evan-Moor Theme Pockets, November
Thanksgiving on Thursday, Mary Pope Osborne
(We also used the Magic Treehouse Pilgrims Resource Guide)
Hands of a Child, Thanksgiving Project Pack
I only used the sample from Hands of a Child (the pilgrims seen on our placemat, above.)
