I have a quick question about the penguin lapbook you made for your daughter awhile back. I posted it on the forum but haven't received an answer. Are you willing to look at it sometime? Thanks!

Thanks for all your hard work. I am in awe of all you create and do! You're definitely an inspiration!

At 5:59pm on July 3, 2009, Tajuana said…: Congrats on your new baby boy. I saw the photos on your blog. He's so adorable!

At 1:35pm on June 17, 2009, Pamela said…: Hello Valerie ~ Just wanted to let you know that I am still praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you. You are such an energetic worker, take it easy for these last weeks! God bless you!

At 4:33am on June 5, 2009, Pamela said…: Hi Valerie ~ Thanks for checking on me! :)

I have been out of sorts for a while. We were all very sick for about a month, one of those heavy colds where the chest cough and sinuses don't want to clear up. While we were going through that, we were trying hard to finish up school and put together our portfolios before our evaluation on May 29. I don't know what the state requirements are in your state, but PA is rather strict on homeschooling. They like to see samples in every subject, and require quite a bit of paper work. (Our evaluator did like our lapbooks more this year!)

May is also one of the busiest months for my family of musicians. I think we had about 17 concerts and numerous extra rehearsals. Of course, the kids play spring soccer and baseball too, adding practice and game times especially on the weekends. Sorry, I don't mean to complain. Actually, I think we are very blessed to be able to participate in so many wonderful activities!

I have been putting finishing touches on some of our projects from this year to share as soon as I get myself together. I can't wait to fish around and see what all the other moms and teachers have been doing, too!

I hope you and your family are doing well. Is your daughter enjoying her new guitar? Guitar is not one of my best instruments, but I still think they are fun to play. There are many 2 and 3 chord children's songs that she would probably like to play. I guess you are in the last stretch before the new baby comes! Two of my friends recently had babies and I have been enjoying them immensely! I pray that you and the baby are fine, and that your delivery will go well. Thoughts will be with you! :)

At 8:27pm on May 31, 2009, motherofonesm said…: Just a quick note to say thanks for all the hard work you do. You have definetly made this last school year easier for me as I have taught my son and look forward to the many other new ideas you post as time allows for you.

At 11:04pm on May 8, 2009, FrogMum (Caroline) said…: No Worries - I sorted it :D

At 10:39pm on May 8, 2009, FrogMum (Caroline) said…: Oooops! I seem to have messed up my lovely little button at the end of the wiki page! I was trying to make it link to my profile and I think I accidentally deleted a bit of code - only I don't know which bit!! It said 'click here' to visit me, but the link didn't work. Normally the sort of thing I can easily fix, only not this time..!

At 10:23pm on May 8, 2009, FrogMum (Caroline) said…: I got your message - Congratulations :D . There is always a way to nurse and surf - once the baby has the hang of it a big cushion works wonders for a while - until they start to wriggle more :D Hope all goes well for you. I'm sorry I've not been about for a bit. My spring is going well, but it's been a bit crazy. We are moving house which as you can imagine with 9 of us...! Also I re-discovered photography (say no more..!)

At 3:28pm on April 29, 2009, Penney said…: Congratulations, Valerie!!! Your baby looks very cute!

I have a question about the Easter lapbook, (yeah, I'm a little behind). Did you fasten the 2 file folder games into the lapbook? If so, how did you fasten them in? Did you use tape or something?

I'm so happy for you!

Love,
Penney

At 7:33am on April 26, 2009, Samson's Mom said…: I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to you and all of the members that share the work they do with their children. I have begun using many of your ideas with my classroom and my students love the lapbooks. The parents are loving them as much as the children I believe. I have received many positive comments of them as we have finished and the children have carried them home. Again thank you for all that you do. Also, I love the crafty classroom and have shared it with my colleagues.

At 7:38pm on April 9, 2009, Bobbi Hayes said…: Hi Valerie! Congrats to you and your family! Growth is wonderful and scary. I am commenting here to Thank You with abundance for all you do. I had twin boys 2 years ago (in May) and I have a 5 year old daughter. When I was faced with staying home with her before starting K, I was terrified. She had been in private schools (daycares really) that had done all the work for me. I was so afraid that I would not have her prepared to start school. After that little bit of background information, I am so proud to say that she is ready! I use to like the phrase "Make every moment a learning moment".....now every moment at our house is a (to quote my daughter) "let's make a lapbook about...." Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

At 3:40pm on March 22, 2009, mommy to 3 duckies said…: Thanks for answering my question about Ning. I can't wait to check out those Oregon trail mini's. You make the neatest printables. I am so grateful for all the hard work you put into the sites you run. It certainly is a blessing to us.

About Me:

I am a Christian Stay at Home Wife and Mother to two little ones. Sissy is 5, Bubba is 2. Baby #3 is on the way, and due July 8, 2009

We are exploring homeschooling as an option for our family, so far we're liking what we see, and we hope to at least keep the children home for the early years.

We started using lapbooks as a way to learn some fun Preschool, and Kindergarten skills, and I found them so helpful that I decided to start this site to help others get started using them.

I hope that this site will be useful for you as you go about your homeschooling, and if you have any questions or feedback you can email me personally at Valerie@lapbooklessons.com

Happy Lapping!

Valentine's Day Treats

So as I was frantically searching around my house for some sort of treat to give my children tomorrow, I was struck with the idea of "coupons." I can remember quite vividly when I was younger, and didn't have a dime to my name that my typical gift for Mother's and Father… Continue

The movie was super cute, so we just had to make a lapbook f…
