This week as we were reading another really wonderful book aloud, I found myself wondering just how I could cement some of the information from this book into the minds of my kiddos. The answer? Lapbooking.
Lapbooking is a great excuse to have fun with paper, paste, paint . . .all kinds of artsy materials. Really, if you can imagine it, you can do it in lapbooking land. But lapbooking also provides the opportunity to practice proper spelling, punctuation and the chance to hone ones research skills. That's my hope, anyway. I must admit that I have never created a lapbook, but I am all about learning new concepts.
So I went googling. Hopefully these links will lead to many hours of fun learning for your family and mine. :)
