Why Lapbooks?

Posted in Homeschooling

Why so many lapbooks lately? That’s a 2-part answer. 1) Munchkin has really fallen in love with using lapbooks as a means of learning. 2) I have more time to create the lapbooks now as we’re watching the Olympics. I don’t like just sitting and watching tv, but I really like watching the Olympics (as does Munchkin). How do we use the lapbooks? Usually, we use lapbooks as the core for a certain part of our curriculum (often science or history). We fill out the lapbooks as we go through the unit. I precut the booklets as Munchkin does not…

Who Am I?

Posted in Christian Life

Who am I?performed by Casting Crowns Who am I?That the Lord of all the earth,Would care to know my name,Would care to feel my hurt.Who am I?That the bright and morning star,Would choose to light the way,For my ever wandering heart.

Our United States Lapbook

Posted in Homeschooling

Munchkin wants to do a study of the states while we are doing the study of the Presidents. The plan is to study one state and one President per week. We discussed what she wanted to learn about the different states and made this lapbook.

We couldn’t find an image that we liked for the front cover, so we combined several images (in Printmaster) to create this cover. We will be learning about each state individually. Each state booklet…

Presidents Lapbook

Posted in Homeschooling

I designed this lapbook for Munchkin to be filled in throughout the year. We’ll be learning about each President. All the templates are now available for download at homeschool share. Once again, I designed the cover in my PrintMaster program. The book is a little thicker, so it doesn’t close completely. She’ll be learning about the requirements to become US President and Presidential responsibility. She’ll also be writing about states where the Presidents live and why we have a President (and not a king). She will be recording which Presidents are on the different coins and bills. In addition, we’ll…
