Oceans Minibooks and Notebook Pages for Geography

This week we continued our Geography studies and dived into …

Oceans!

We combine our notebook and minibook pages; pasting the minibooks on our notebook pages.

My children write a lot of information in these minibooks.

They often prefer to draw or illustrate concepts on their notebook pages.

A little note for moms of young children ~

I still often act as scribe for my 8-year-old.  I insist that she writes at least 1 minibook, and even so, she dictates to me and I write it on our little whiteboard.  She then copies the work in her minibook.  With gentle persuasion, I hope to wean her from much of my writing and allow her to do more on her own.

She is the type of child who hates to make mistakes!  It is this anxiety that I think holds her back from freely writing on her own.  But my years of teaching experience reassure me that she will eventually become an eloquent and proficient writer!

So what minibooks are in this bundle?
