Sep. 7, 2007 - Finishing up with Berlioz the Bear
My little music-loving boy has adored this book.
We spent the week learning about a variety of things: Germany, musical notes, composers (especially Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky), pride, and musical instruments (brass, strings, and woodwinds).
We reviewed onomatopoeia, discussed real vs. imaginary (parts of the story), and learned new vocabulary words. Elijah also used the animal cards to narrate the story for me on the first day. He will narrate again for dad tonight.
Here are pictures of our Berlioz Lapbook
So proud!
Do you see that book? Elijah loves how B-I-G it gets! Thanks to Jimmie for inspiring that one! I love how much you can fit into that one book!
Again, most of the templates to make this lapbook along with the unit study are offered for free at Homeschool Share!

Wow, I didn't understand that fold until your picture. I was thinking it was much smaller. That is impressive!!

Your Berlioz week looks like so much fun! We might just have to stick that one into our year somewhere.
You've been nominated for the "Nice Matters" award. You can read about it at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/songofmyheart/

Looks great Ami!!!! What fun!
I have been making mini scrapbooks for years, the same as your fold out book! I would have never thought to use it in a lapbook until I was on Jimmie's blog!

I love that big book too. I have it tucked away in my brain for something fun later in the year!
We are doing a composer/music study throughout the year. I think that unit might just be the perfect review for year end.
Great job Elijah!
