Book Sale Finds

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Today, Munchkin and I headed over to our local library’s monthly book sale. We’ve never gone before, and boy, were we missing out!!! We walked over to the checkout with this HUGE stack of books. We walked away only spending $14. Wow! One very nice book is missing from the picture as I’m going to be using it as a gift for someone. All of the books are in excellent condition. Plus, we picked up several outdoor magazines for free (not pictured) that we’ll be using for their pictures. Needless to say, I do believe that we’ll be heading back…

Periodic Table Lapbook

Posted in Homeschooling

This lapbook is based on the book Fizz, Bubble & Flash!: Element Explorations & Atom Adventures for Hands-On Science Fun! We were able to pick this up from our local library, but it’s one that I want to add to our bookshelf! We picked out 3 elements from each group to put in the respective mini books. Munchkin wrote the name, symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, who discovered it, and when it was discovered. You could easily go really in depth with this lapbook, but we kept it simple. Today, we’ve declared Experiment Day!!! We’re going to have fun doing…
