We have been busy working on Mystery Of History-  Book 3 in our co-op. We are working on an Explorer's Lapbook and Artists of the Renaissance lapbook that will continue throughout the whole book. I will post the mini books and pictures of  some samples of the kids lapbooks soonish.

     Last year we did several lapbooks with the elementary age groups in our co-op. Then I had several requests from our jr. high age kids to do lapbooks. I guess I thought that they would find them too childish or something. They have really impressed me so far with their work on the booklets. They have been putting even more work into them than they do on their journaling pages. I love their enthusiasm.

      In the meantime here is a link for some of the notebook pages that I have created to go with MOH Book 3, Quarter 1:
