Posted in Notebooking and Lapbooking
|
Today we started a small lapbooking coop with 3 other families. We may have a few more families join us, that weren't able to make it today. Today we showed the kids what we planned, as all of us are new to lapbooking. Then we sent them off to play while the moms discussed the numerous folds and types of books we could use.
We set up coop dates, once a month and also decided on a general topic/theme for each monthly meeting for the next three months. We decided to have them make a book about themselves for our next meeting as some of our kids are just meeting for the first time. The next month they will do a layered look book on a favorite book (making it a book report). June will be a lapbook on their favorite animals. We'll take off July and August for vacations and in September we'll cover our vacations/travels of the summer.
We are really looking forward to this. In fact my 2 daughters are already wanting to make one tonight. I told them after supper they could work on one, so we need to clean up a bit and get our supplies organized.
We will post pictures as we get them finished. I would love to see what the rest of you are doing with lapbooks and notebooking (we have been doing this for history and science). I think the kids will have more fun with the lapbooks, but the notebooking will work for those times when we can't devote more time to them. |
