On Friday, we completed our study of the mountains. We used the mountain lapbook from Hands of a Child. We assembled the lapbook today after Munchkin’s soccer practice. We used printmaster to design the cover. Munchkin decided that she wanted to use a fun folder for this lapbook. Instead of writing a lot of the information in the booklets, Munchkin decided to type out the information. Then, she cut and pasted it into the booklets. (Hands of a Child does make a type-it-in version, but we didn’t have that version on this lapbook.) One of the activities was to act…

Also, share any curriculum/homeschool methods that have been a relief to you, i.e., a particular Teacher’s Manual or Homeschooling method that’s been easier for your family. Talk about how you felt when the burden was lifted and Oh, What a Relief it is! Homeschooling involves some sacrifices for everyone involved. It would be easier if I could go to the doctor or run errands…
