We enjoyed this study of the polar regions. It was perfect timing since we will soon get very involved with our following of the Iditarod. I participated in an online co-op with a group of other homeschooling families. We each divided the jobs neccessary to provide everyone with a variety of additional support materials for this unit. I never though of an online co-op. But it was great. The lapbook was from Hands of a Child and they provided the organized co-op as well.
This time I combined activities for both girls into the one lapbook. You will see in the pictures that there is an ABC mitten gameboard. I used that board for my youngest and vocabulary cards for both. I chose vocabulary questions based on who was answering the questions. They loved it!
We glued this iceburg picture like a pocket on the front cover. It holds our 5 Polar Animals song and cards. The Polar Math pocket holds math for both girls.
Here is the game board with playing pieces. The gameboard came from Child Care Land.
I have been so blessed to be able choose the path of homeschooling my two daughters. God has given me many gifts as I endever to raise them up to be Christ like women. We have found along our journey, ways to enrich our lives and share that with others. I hope you enjoy keeping up with the classes I teach locally as well as the happenings in the education of my girls. I hope that you find something helpful here for your family.

We are using this online academy this year. Check it out.
My daughters LOVE this site!
We use this site for much of our school work. Not only does it meet grade level requirements, it is fun! My 4 year old begs to go to her Time 4 Learning page and my 5th grader doesn't complain about doing her work.
These are the most creative stories I have seen yet to help kids finally learn those difficult upper times tables.
These flip charts are like magic! My girls love have the reminder of what to do next. I couldn't believe how great it was!
