Lapbook Lessons

May 2008 Newsletter

As you know, this is a fast changing social network, and I'll do my best to keep you posted as to the new features made available to you.
If you have any suggestions as to what you'd like to see please feel free to email me!


What's New?
There is a new printable lapbook and video tutorial that you might be interested in checking out.

Christian Character Lapbook: Enthusiasm
This is a lapbook for children to learn about what it means to be enthusiastic for Jesus! This is full of minibooks you can complete with your children to learn more about being an encouragement to others, while taking a look at Paul's letters to the churches and how he was an encouragement to others too!

What's Next
This is my to-do list so to speak, I'm not 100% sticking to it, but it's here as a guideline for me and for what you can probably expect to see on our site in the comming weeks.

Princess Mission Lapbook: Correspondence.
This lapbook doubles as a stationary holder that your children can use to store notecards, envelopes, stamps and more! It's a great way to help your children learn about the ways people correspond, and how to go about it in a kind and proper manner.

Little House on the Prairie Lapbook
(We've started reading this at our house, so we'll be making resouces and notes along the way)

Winnie the Pooh Lapbook
(I haven't forgoten about these, we're almost finished with the first set of stories and I've drawn up some ideas for the minibooks I'd like to make)

Bible ABC lapbooks:

E for Elijah & Elisha

This will be a comparison lapbook to help children (and us adults) learn about and remember the difference between the two prophets.

P for Paul
This will be a lapbook about Paul's entire life, expanding on the Christian Character Lapbook above.


If you'd like to be involved with the creation of these lapbooks, or any other future lapbooks, please email me personally! We can always use the help!
