Lapbook Days

Hey! The boys are getting underway on their NC SCRAPBOOK projects. It's a little slower going than I had anticipated, but we're moving! In the meantime we are doing a few mini-books at a time to make a Mammals Lapbook to go with our current Lyrical Life Science studies. After each lesson we are doing a little booklet or somethinganother to go with the animals of that week. I'm putting these aside in a folder to make into a large lapbook at the end of our book. This past Friday we worked on some… Continue

NC State History Scrapbook Project

We have been building up with one subject a week for the past four weeks. This week we start North Carolina History. I have one boy in the fourth grade and one in the eighth. In North Carolina public schools those are the years for NC studies. I also have a seventh grader, but he might as well get it over now… Continue

Back in the Swing!

Our family was in the States for about 8 months. The boys attended a small Christian school while there on furlough. We have been back in Brazil for about 2 weeks. This past week we started with some easy copy work assignments. Next week we will add another subject and so on until we are totally up and running. Although we have no big lapbook projects on the schedule for the near, near future, we will be starting on a very big North Carolina History Scrapbook project shortly. I spent our 8 month… Continue

"AWOL" for a while

Hello to any one who happens by my page over the next few months. We aren't starting any new lapbook projects right now. We are in the States for a six month furlough. The boys attended a small Christian school in a little country town while we were here. I used the time to get tog… Continue

Furlough Fun

Every Sunday while here in the States we visit one of our supporting churches for their services. My husband gives a report of our recent term of missionary service and preaches. The sermon he has been using in most of our meetings involves dressing one of our boys in a typical Nort… Continue

Snow Days

Snow is something we just don't experience in Brazil. So we were super glad for the "blizzard" of last week in North Carolina. Continue

Boys in School

Just wanted to check in... My fellows are going to "real" school for the next six months while we are on furlough here in the States. Today was the third day. So far so good. Lots of homework. I've yet to figure how they are in school for more hours than we ever spent in homeschool work and still have tons of homework when they get home??? Who knows. My middle boy has to do a poster about West Virginia soon. I plan on going about it in lapbook style. It will be like a great big flat lapbook! I'… Continue

Older Child Lapbook - Albert Einstein

Blast from the past - Ancient Korea Lapbook - June 2008

I just posted pictures of a research lapbook that my 12 year old did this past June. It was a hard topic for which to find information, but after many hours of web research he pulled it off with a folder full of good stuff! Most of our best information came from: wikipedia www.kor… Continue

First Post

Hello there! I usually post on You can visit me there for more information on how we homeschool. I'm new to lapbooking. I have 3 boys and we enjoy reading real books. Living in the interior of Brazil that's a little complicated sometimes! Having a good Internet connection has hindered some of our lapbook research, but recently we were able to get a better set-up. Shortly I'll post some pictures of lapbooks that we have completed.… Continue

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