Aug. 28, 2007 - Lap booking
Well thanks to some really great ladies in my home school group, PEACH, I found some good sites for making free lap books. For those who don't know what lap booking is: .Homeschooling on a shoestring
Anyway, I thought it would be nice to try one out and see how it goes with Hannah. We are doing one from this site: Homeschool Helper They have some great frree print offs and ideas on how to put together a lap book all for free, well except for the expense of the paper and ink :) Hannah is doing her's on Ohio, since this is the state we are in so this will tie in science (due to the agriculture of our state), geopraphy (this I hope is self explanatory), math (we are discussing the area, population, etc so that includes numbers). She is going to be doing almost all the writing so it will be an assesst also for her handwriting skills and will be neat to look at in years to come to see how far she has come. Along with her portfolio this will give us another tangible that relatives and friends can so that they know we are actually teaching.
Today's teaching only ran about an hour, Bethanne was proving to be a great distraction and we started late so we were hungry and getting cranky due to that.
So far here are the pictures of what we have:
This is the plain folder that I have folded, the papers stuck inside are some of things we will be adding:
What the cover will look like once we add the state flag:

View of Hannah's quick facts, population, area, state capital, largest cities, and date into the union also included is a view of the quick facts open:
God bless.

Great! We just started getting into lapbooking last spring, and I'm hoping to do more with it this year. It's a great way to organize and review information!
Thanks,
Jean
