My son picked this one. I showed him my collection of files and lapbooks on my computer and he picked which one. Of course his deciding factor was not that he is terribly interested in birds, it was that he wanted to do a book using 3 folders.The Bird Lapbook was a freebie from the Homeschool E-store that I got awhile back, technically it is for older kids- 4th grade or so....so I skipped some of the mini-books and replaced them with other bird related books that were a little more his level. We also did not use the suggested layout, we just stuck them where we wanted and how they fit nicely....he wanted it FULL. I also decided to try something new this time around. First we cut and glued and put the whole thing together, then we went in and answered questions, read books, etc. And to tell the truth it is not all the way finished yet. We come and go from it, eventually it will be all done....but since it looks done I am going to go ahead and post it. Personally I like doing the books individually and then at the end coming in and putting it all together. I can see doing the book first for skills-based lapbooks....like an addition or multiplication. Put it all together then come back around to answer the questions. But for our next one (which will be one of Weather) I think I will go back to my old way of doing things.....
But here it is....Our Bird Lapbook
