Remember I mentioned how my son completed a lapbook from homeschoolshare.com? Well, he got to present it last week at our Science coop class. I am really impressed now with homeschoolshare.com. They have a huge section of FREE lapbooks; but they also have a huge section of FREE minibook templates! -- blank minibooks so you can lapbook about whatever you want... Starting May 1st; you can win some amazing prizes for submitting your unit studies, lapbook designs, and other shareable work to homeschoolshare! Read all about it by clicking on the Blast graphic up above...
Anyway, I wanted to share pictures of Jonathan presenting, and then all of the boys with their lapbooks. Clara is making a picture book to present next week; and so is Anna, so I will post pictures of their projects later. Jonathan's book was all about Eagles.
He did a great job on that! We've never done a lapbook, can you believe it?
Thanks for explaining kefir to me. I may just have to try that some time.
Love, ALyssa
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
