I was just over visiting Homeschool Helper and they have a ton of new stuff this month!  I really like the dogs lapbook and the poetry lapbook!  I may just have to do those this year.  All the new lessons are great!  Here's a list of what's new and some were created by yours truly.  I just love this site!  It is such a great resource.  Why not submit something to add to the collection?  Think of all the homeschoolers you'd be helping.
