Hi everyone! The lapbooks I'm showing you are acutally not our most recent, but they are some of my favorites so far, so I wanted to make sure they didn't go unnoticed!
First, as I've mentioned before, Annaleigh is studying the 10-40 window, and while Antarctica is not really a part of that, it is included briefly in her curriculum. She really enjoyed this study, and we were able to find many little cool activities on-line (thanks to recent movies such as, Eight Below and March of the Penguins!). She did most of this lapbook herself, and I think it's one of her best yet. Here's what the cover looks like. Cute, isn't it?
Here's the inside. We included a lift-the-flap of some arctic and antarctic animals, a timeline of Antarctic events on a pretty icicle picture, a report on the life cycle of a penguin, a map puzzle, a mini book of Antarctic explorers and a word search on the back.
Harrison's lapbook was on a favorite read-aloud, My Father's Dragon. On the cover, he drew a picture of the dragon, based on the author's description.
The inside was really fun! We printed out a picture of Elmer's knapsack then put pictures or the objects themselves in the lapbook. These were the items that Elmer packed to take to Wild Island. On the side flaps we have pictures of the animals he encountered. Then Harrison drew lines to who used what out of the knapsack. He loved doing this! The line-drawing got a little hairy, so I listed below the animal pictures what they used. For example, under tigers it says 'gum.' On the bottom we attached a mini-book with printouts and coloring pictures of all the animals in the book.
On the back we put a map of the island, colored it and circled where the dragon was located.
And that's about it! This is such a fun way to learn. I'm glad the kids enjoy them. Stay tuned for pictures of Harrison's Johnny Appleseed and Annaleigh's China lapbooks....
Oh, and by the way, did you notice I got my picture-sizing issues resolved? Yay!!! |
