Belle is going to start working on her Panda Bear Lapbook this week.  We have been studying the continents and right now we are checking out Asia...that's how we decided on the Panda Bear!

Here are the "parts" of the book:

• colored panda bear
• a picture of Belle standing with the bamboo plants at Sycamore Shoals
• a pocket for fun panda facts...like did you know a baby panda is the size of a stick of butter?
• a map of China
• letters P and B
• a story that will be written and illustrated by Belle
• a pocket for vocabulary words:  bamboo, endangered, hibernate, extinct and solitary

We are also going to be visiting several sites.  There are a ton out there but I just picked two for the webcams...

• San Diego Zoo   webcams and sound bytes
• National Geographic  creature feature

We have already watched The Amazing Panda Adventure.  Let me just warn you though...the acting was stinky but my kiddos sat quietly through the entire movie. It just about did me in! lol!!

and a few more things.....

Here's a cute panda pattern from one of my favorite artists Molly Chicken!  Too

cute!!  And this one's for us make-up wearing gals....Panda Cleanser

I'll be posting pictures of the lapbook at the end of the week!

Did you take the photo of the mushroom? I would like to use it on another site if it's ok. What kind of camera are you using?
Thanks,

Lap books are worth the effort. When my kids were little they put together some amazing books. My college son ask me recently where his were because he wanted to browse through them again!! Hugs, J
