Ok, it's been a few weeks since I have posted about our school work.  We've had some unorganized weeks, but I finally feel like I'm on track again.  Here is a sampling of what we have done. 

In the School House:

I finished the Magic Tree House book Mummies in the Morning with Little One.  Then we made an interactive notebook page for the story. 


I am really liking the format of an interactive notebook for the Magic Tree House series.  We basically just do enough minibooks to fit in a two page spread (or a two page spread with flap) and when we are done, I glue them in on a page labeled with the title.  This allows us to extend the study to include other things like geography without spending a lot of time on it.  I try to do 1 book every week to a week and a half.  Since there are so many books in the series, I don't want to spend a ton of time on each of them.  That is why about 5-7 minibooks for each book is ideal.  I try to find stickers to go along with the studies (if I can) to make the pages more colorful and stand out.  They are not necessary, but since I am a scrapbooker and have tons of extra stickers, I might as well use them. 

If you would like to do you own study of Mummies in the Morning (or just an Egyptian study) here are some resources:

Both of the boys did some indoor nature studies since the weather has not been cooperating lately.  I brought some wildflowers in from our garden for them to draw.

Prince Caspian was reading the book Island of the Blue Dolphin and he was to notebook what he read.  Here is a page he did:


The notebook page is a part of the Basic Primary and Regular- Lined Notebooking Pages set by NotebookingPages.com.  You can find them here: Notebooking Pages  I love notebooking with older children.  It gives them more practice in writing and it involves more thought than just circling a,b or c. 

Being a WAHM:

I've also been busy working!  I've gotten some of my Christmas line out on Zazzle.  Here are a few examples:
