Oct. 11, 2007 - 5 pumkins..

Passed on by a fellow blogger..@ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/amtell






 You can make your own pumpkin book here.. http://stores.lulu.com/lilliputstation



 While I was there I downloaded the Very Hungry Caterpillar lapbook..I can not wait to use it..It may be a while though we are waiting to buy a new color printer..Our printer cost to much to refill..I highly recommend it.. It is worth the money.. Here is the description.. Download: $6.25 This interactive notebook provides graphics and instructions to make a interactive notebook using cardstock or a folded file folder. Activities include colors, days of the week, counting, nutrition, the life cycle of a butterfly, copywork, and collage. Additional project ideas and a notebook page are also included.

Oct. 11, 2007 - The Parable of the Sower

We included this craft in our lapbook.. found @ http://www.littleblots.com/CraftPumpkinBook.html Here was the verse inside the mini book that we did.. New International Version Matthew 13 Read This Chapter 13:3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. 13:4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 13:5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 13:6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 13:7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 13:8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop--a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 13:9 He who has ears, let him hear." 


yes Kass the birds can be purple..It would not be your lapbook if they were not purple 



Kass was all done coloring  but  it is good to show the last page..

Oct. 4, 2007 - Laplinks/pumpkin

Here is a great way for homeschoolers who do not have a lot of time to look up links are often is overwhelmed by the amount of info that is out there..Every month we will post link all on the same topic (this month is pumpkins) ..You can design your own lapbook out of what is provided ..How great is that..All you do is visit Valerie's blog and pick what you would like..

I will have the hubby  make the link clickable tonight.. I did it exactly how I was told to by him and the way that works for everyone else ...I promise I know how to do it because I can do it on other sites..grrrrrrrrrr..I almost want to leave the site..It  frustrates me here..

http://www.christianpreschoolprintables.com/blog1/





I got all my links all from one page but they all looked great for a lapbook..I know thats kinda cheating but I like to call it being resourceful..

Jul. 12, 2007 - A busy school week

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Sand art..we reviewed shapes and had some fun too. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Noahs Ark Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket This week Kassidy has not even minded writing :) I am thinking of getting he handwriting without tears but I am afraid she may be past most of it. Not that we do not have our problem areas with free handing like the slanting letters. I think mabey the type of paper used may build her confidence. She does not like the middle line on writing paper it is her enemy :) Also she has her self to add. So I am thinking it is time to buy a math curriculum..Because for the most part she is fancy counting like using her fingers to add. She did indeed take on her self to start adding so I am not pushing her. I was thinking about getting Math you See for her.. We have hooked on reading K so I think that the work books we do could keep us busy for her pre k year. I was going to review her for two months..I am hoping to get her counting beyond 20 consistent also...We play dominoes or other fun game type thing and she counts beyond 20 fine but to get her just to slow down and count is another thing. She did great at shoots and ladders last night too. She knows what number comes next or the bigger number. Hope all my online friends are having a great week I hope to get caught up on chatting and bloging soon but Kassidy comes first..
