My Son's Self Made Lapbook

Posted in Our Lapbooks
My oldest ds came to me yesterday and said he wanted to do a presentation on the Rain Forest and he wanted to do it by himself. (For school we are studying dinos.) I thought it was just something to keep him busy for a few minutes, but much to my surprise, he pulled out our Child Craft Encyclopedias and worked for about two hours!!! This is my 11 year old son-who does not like to read, write nor do schoolwork .
WOW. Then he asks me for a folder to make a lapbook. HUH?!?!? Did HE ask to do a lapbook!?!? After working diligently and telling his brothers to be quiet because he had to concentrate, he shows me his lapbook.
He drew all the pictures, colored them and did a small report on each. He then proceeds to tell me what each drawing is, ect. I am sitting there totally in wonder and awe- he can really do it!!! Here are a few pics of his hard work...
My son and his lapbook- so proud!

Here's what you cant's see- on the left he wrote about trees in the Rain Forest, In the middle is a report about various plants found there and on the right is a Tree Monkey, with a report. Oh, he added a leaf as a little extra something so that we could "scratch and sniff" to enhance our Rain Forest Experience!
Please congratulate him on his blog:  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sonicman525

Posted by jmccumbers
Hi! As a Momma, I can share your pride in your son. I would be proud too. By the way, I went to your son's blog to post a comment and didn't see a link that would allow me to do that. Perhaps it's set to no comments?

Blessings!

That is so great. Most moms of 11 year old boys that I know say they are not motivated. I am glad to hear that they can be. My boy is only 2, so he is VERY eager.;) His lapbook looked great.
Be blessed,
Chasity

That is just wonderful! He did an excellent job. It's great when they just finally seem to get that school work can be fun and interesting.

Have a blessed day!

I love it! Super job to both of you! I bet he's inspiring his siblings, and he doesn't even know it. :)

Maybe you should consider letting him take the reigns once in awhile and let him decide what to study. :) You never know where a rabbit trail can lead! :)

Have fun!

Posted by subbertfamily
My son doesn't like to write or read often, so this encourages me that when a subject interests him, perhaps he will do some extra work!

That is so cool that he asked to do his own lapbook! And it turned out great! I need to do a lapbook with Deuce and Cody, because it has been awhile, LOL. Your son has inspired me! :-)
