Homeschool World Forum

We like lapbooking too. I have a 5th grader and a second grader.
For the 5th grader last year we made lapbooks on Triops, a few different countries (we are in Europe), sharks, and an author (his favourite books) Geronimo Stilton.
The second grader did dogs, the human body and pirates.

We did a lot of history with the Triops and of course we have some Triops in the house, we still have them right now.
The countries give a lot of geografy and history.

We make the lapbooks ourselves, no pre-made printouts, we look things up on the internet and in librarybooks and make little pictures or summeries about the things we find.

For this year I found out about Mini Offices, which is similar to lapbooking and we are going to start our Mini Office for this year next week.

Hope this helps you.

That sounds great Elei. You guys have been busy. We made some mini offices last year. I have some lapbooks we did so far posted here and here.

My dd and I are doing a summer long weather observation station and using a notebook to write down data we collect, the weather forecast, and our observations on the weather outside.

I'm new to this forum, but was happy to find other lapbook lovers! Currclick is another site that has been helpful to me.

They provide lapbook printouts and notebook pages for sale, as well as free downloads. In their "free stuff" area there is a download called "A Rose by Any other Name" that is full of websites for lapbooking ideas.
