Black History Month Lapbook

Here is the Harriet Tubman lapbook that I made to go along with the book Who is Harriet Tubman by Yona Zeldis McDonough.

We havent used this yet. We will most likely use it when we get up to that time period in Story of the World.

If anyone uses it please leave a comment below with feedback. If there are anyways to improve it I would love to do so!

Thanks!

Story of the World Vol. 1

homeschooldays — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:44:36 +0000

We will be starting the Story of the World Vol. 1 by Susan Wise Bauer in the next few weeks. We will be making a lapbook, timeline and doing the activity guide along with it.

I have made an outline breaking the chapters into lessons and adding some details that I feel are missing. I have added to the beginning starting with evolution and the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras(obviously feel free to eliminate these if it goes against religious beliefs).

I am going to try to organize our lapbook by Empire/date (this might get a little tricking when empires fall and then rise again!) Hopefully each page will be organized something like this:

I will post a link to the outline that I have so far. It is just general topics that I want to discuss and put in the lapbook.

Story of the World Plan

I have not quite figured out the timeline but I will post once I have.

I plan on blogging by lesson with pictures of lapbook, timeline and any activities we did. I will also post links to sources that we have used and printables.

Thanks for reading!

With the 2012 Olympics coming up this summer I decided I better get some type of lapbook together. I looked on homeschoolshare.com (love them!) and they of course had one! I also found another free one on Unitsudy.com.

TITANIC

I found this great starter lapbook for the Titanic by Dynamic2Moms. We are in the process of reading Magic Tree House Research Guide Titanic. I was going to make my own lapbook template for the Titanic unit but I just have not had the time we have been VERY BUSY! I do have a list of all the lapbooks we are going to do I will post a link for it below. On the dynamic2moms website they also have some great links at the bottom with activities.

I will post pictures of the lapbook as soon as we are finished.

Lapbooks- Science

homeschooldays — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:30:05 +0000

My daughter and as do I LOVE SCIENCE! The only science lapbooks we have completed this year have been from Yee Shall Know. She has fabulous science lapbooks based on the books in the Magic School Bus Chapter Book Series. They are colorful and well planned. If only one day my lapbooks will be like hers! The first lapbook we did of hers was based on a The Magic School Bus: Search for the Missing bones. The lapbook is all about bones, joints, cartilage, etc. My daughter really liked it.

We are currently working on another of her lapbooks for the Magic School Bus: Polar Bear Patrol. It’s not just about polar bears. It’s about the Arctic Polar Region. The book mostly talks about animals but does touch on other related topics as well. So far its coming along great. We will post pictures once we are finished and it is all assembled!

Here is the link for the Yee Shall Know website: http://yeeshallknow.com/science/

Lent

homeschooldays — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:27:35 +0000

This year we are trying to encourage our 7 year old to participate in Lent. Since it is very hard your young children to give up one thing for the entire 40 days, we are having her write down a list of things she can give up. We are then going to have her write them on slips of paper and put the in a jar. Everyday we are going to have her draw from the jar and she wil have to give up that thing for 24 hours.

We are also going to do the Jelly Bean Jar Prayer for both kids. They earn certain color jelly beans for doing certain things (spelled out in the word.doc- click on the Jelly Bean Jar)This should be FUN!

Hi All!

We are a new, young homeschooling family! We are kind of still finding our way. It has been an awesome journey this year so far. We have a second grader and preschooler. My plan for this blog is to share with everyone what we are doing in our classroom and any FREE homeschool related items I find. I also plan to make my own lapbooks and plan to make them available for everyone to use. I am currently working on a Harriet Tubman and Titanic Lapbook. I will try and post them both within the next week. These will be my first lapbooks so hang in there with me! Enjoy!

If you have a homeschool/craft blog please feel free to post a comment and link to your blog in the comments. I would love to see what everyone else is up to! Thanks!
