Our time in China...

We are sorta ecelectic in our homeschool... We use a variety of curriculum and I pick and choose things to put together for us... So we have been using FIAR, "Galloping the Globe" and HSS for alot of the units we do... So when we did China we had a great time with Ping and Pandas and alot of other resources... Here is a look at our completed notebook...

 

Back to School Blast 2

One of my favorite sites on the web, Homeschool Share is having their annual curriculum drive... It's called the "Back to School Blast" ...If you have never checked this site out, you don't know what you are missing... It s a wonderful resource for those of us that use FIAR, unit studies, lapbooks, or are just looking for new ways to make our homeschool routine a fun and wonderful way for our kids to learn... Each unit is comprised of several different areas of study and written entirely by other homeschool moms.... and the best part is they are FREE and easy to use... You can check out more about the curriculum drive, submissions, and Homeschool Share here. HAPPY LEARNING!!!

Our completed Thanksgiving Lapbook...

Here are some pics of our Thanksgiving Lapbook... We also completed the Spice Maps and some worksheets but there was just too much stuff to put in to one little book... I think next time we will use several folders...*L* And we ran out of room to put a pocket for our Pilgrim paperdolls...So we fixed a folder for all the extra stuff... It was a great month and the kids really enjoyed it... They also decided they were glad they were not Pilgrims after we read about the lives of Pilgrim children...  

 

And here are the books we used for this months study....
