I stumbled across this site
http://lapbooklessons.com/ through a Montessori blog I like to check out. I am fascinated by the idea of lapbooks, although we have never done one. (A lapbook for anyone wondering is kind of like a scrapbook of everything you are learning about a particular subject, full of pockets, mini-books, etc. to make it interactive). I have been too chicken to try one because it would mean a bit more work for me. ;o) But I wanted to share this site, because even if you weren't planning on doing a whole lapbook with your kid, you could print out bits and pieces for some good educational fun. ;o) This site is free, but does require that you register. Another great lapbooking site (or just a place with great educational ideas) is
http://homeschoolshare.com/. I'm hoping to do a few more things with Jackson--like hopefully get an ABC notebook up and going for him. Daily I find that I am so thankful for the internet and the vast amount of free and wonderful educational ideas that are available at my fingertips. Check them out! ;o)

What a cool idea, this would be great to try! You'll have to share pictures if you do one.
Thanks....I'm going to bookmark these and check them out later. We did 1 lapbook last year on sled dogs. Luke really enjoyed it. I bet your crafty little girls would love it!! It was a bit of 'extra' work but I counted it toward lots of different subjects so it felt like we were accomplishing a lot!!! I'm all for killing (or at least injuring) multiple birds with one stone!!! :)
