Harry and his Lapbook

Nathan received a new pet for Christmas. A hedgehog! He has been a lot of fun to observe. When feeling threatened he hisses and sounds a lot like a snake. Not to mention, his spines are quite prickly!

I didn't have any books on Hedgehogs, so we made our own using the free lapbook at Homeschool Share.

Volcano Lapbook

Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Free lapbook templates found here.
I also pulled a couple of mini-books from this unit.

And don't miss our Volcano model with which we finished off the week!


Books we read this week:

Snake Lapbook

Final pictures of our snake unit. We found a great snake place to go to, read lots and put together this lapbook from HSS.

Books we read:

Guatemala

We read Abuela's Weave in preparation for our trip to Guatemala. It came to mind often as we walked the streets and saw the beautiful colored fabrics.

Horses

Books we read:

Nathan requested we do a horse lapbook. I pulled together elements from a few different studies on Homeschool Share.

We had pictures from Seth and Nathan riding a horse last spring, so I let them choose and made their covers.

Mini books opened up:

My first attempt at a Flag Book. I'm not so sure I did it correctly.


There are some Five in a Row books coming up with horses. I'm sure the boys will be pulling these out to review when we cover them.
