Ancient Egypt Lapbook

We have been studying ancient history this year with "Mystery of History Volume 1". We did the Ancient Egypt lapbook this fall, new from www.homeschoolshare.com, but did not put it together until now. The kids drew the pictures on the cover from their work in "Draw and Write Through History-Creation through Jonah", fun book. We are also doing the "Homeschool in the Woods Activity Pack for the Old Testament" as we go along. We weren't sure how we wanted to put the lapbook together since we plan on doing some other ancient lapbooks also but decided to do it this way for now. The kids enjoyed learning about this time and place in history.

By the way, THANKS Homeschool Share and Jodi for these great ancient history lapbooks!

Twelve Days of Christmas Lapbook

Our last lapbook of 2009 was the "Twelve Days of Christmas", a great FREE lapbook from http://www.homeschoolshare.com/. Relating the days in the song to biblical references was lots of fun! Some of the material they already knew but reviewing and refreshing these things in their minds is a good thing (such as the books of the bible). The links to the cards for the books of the bible and the disciples are wonderful. I highly recommend this project.

Native Americans Lapbook

My kids finished their joint project on indians after Thanksgiving. We combined lapbook components from Live and Learn Press (lots of very nice and colorful minibooks) and Hands of a Child (nice research guide). We decided to put everything on cardstock and make a book out of it because there were so many minibooks. We read lots of living books from home and the library. There is so much to learn about Native American indians. We were amazed at the number of different tribes, traditions, customs, etc.

Volcano Lapbook

Lapbooks are a fun way of having the kids document what they are learning. They are so much more creative and fun then ordinary worksheets. We do quite a few lapbooks at our house. This is our latest lapbook. We bound this one like a book. We took it to our homeschool science fair along with our volcano display and model. Most of this lapbook is available for free at http://www.homeschoolshare.com/.
