Lapbooks are my friend

This year one of the changes we did was to include lapbooks. I have known about lapbooks for years but never seem to find the time to really get one started. I am a very visual learner and very hands-on so after seeing the one our son, B did for his science co-op I got it! Now we are lapbooking like crazy! In fact, I think I'd better be careful not to overdo it!

I found that lapbooks are also a great compromise when you have different learning styles and teaching styles! (should I say opposite styles!) They let me be creative, but are still very logically put together, B needs this!

So far this year we have done the following lapbooks:

Flying Creatures of the 5th day : Birds (co-op, bought)

America at War : The American Revolutionary War (I created)

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (free on internet)

Lewis and Clark ( free on internet) , we will finish this one today.

Lapbooks in progress:

 Flying Creatures of the 5th day : Insects (co-op-bought)

Classical Music (class, free from estore)

Our American Presidents (doing with a friend)

America at War: The Civil War (in process of creating)

I want to share a great resource for lapbooking! Lynn has everything you need to know in one place! Go over to Lynn's Lapbook Lessons to learn and enjoy. Oh, take a drink along because you may be there a while!

I'm still learning how to use my scanner so if I get it soon I will post pictures of B's lapbooks!

If you haven't tried lapbooking I highly encourage you to check them out!

Be blessed!
