Aug. 28, 2008 - Mama's Lapbook Project
Mommies are allowed to do lapbooks, too, right? LOL. I wasnt planning on doing this, but I found out about a free download from Hands of a Child on the LAST day it was available, and it was too cool to pass up. It was a lapbook kit to do an interview with your grandfather! I tried to involve Joshua in it as much as possible, but it was a little involved for his level, and an hour-long interview was a bit much too... but I was so excited to record some of the family history this way! A lot of the things focused on childhood memories, and the neat thing about the kit is that I wouldn't have thought of a lot of the questions on my own. :) Things like, "Tell me about your jobs" "Did you get an allowance as a child?" and "How did you get to school?" (I was surprised at this answer - on his pony!) This was the first time we've used a lapbook kit, and it took a lot of the work out of it, since I didn't have to come up with much on my own - just print, cut, paste! (Although, I really enjoy doing our own too.)
The interview was so much fun, and I learned so much I didn't know before about my Grandfather's history! We also filmed it, so we have the little tidbits that didn't make it into the lapbook too.
