Lapbook Lessons

H ladies. I have been homeschooling for 19 years! My youngest, and last, homeschooler will be 15 in March. She has been doing a correspondence curriculum, which is very good, as far as academics is concerned, but very, very dry..lots of memorization and tests. At one point, dd loved the structure and the textbooks, but is now becoming burnt out from it all.

My question is, is she too old for lapbooking? I told her about it and she seems excited! And isn't that what learning should be? Exciting! We are willing to stop the correspondence school asap and start free style homeschooling once again. This is more my style anyway, and the one I have used with all of our older, now grown, children. All of whom are doing very well, by the way.

So, as I look upon these great lapbook pages, I see mainly younger children. Are there many older lapbooking students out there. I can see how lapbooking would be great for even the oldest student, but I would love to see some actual lapbooks, or at least talk to other moms who have older kids who are lapbooking.

Thanks for reading all of this. Love this site. Peace and blessings...Rosa
