Thanks again for all the advice, information and help – this time Lapbooks! Your just amazing.
The boys receive a monthly subscription on a South African animal with an info page, a little storybook (cardboard), activity book, stickers and an “animal secret”. I want to put this together in a lapbook, with more information on the particular animal, etc. as we are going to do this every month for a year! I would really like a template to use for the lapbook itself, and just maybe change one or two of the minibooks inside as needed every month. Do you have any ideas? Just thought it would be simpler if I had things sort of “set-up” and can just add the information as they come.
LikeLike
Sorry Nadene, I actually realised now how stupid the question sounds, or how difficult it would be to give advice as you don’t know what type of content it would hold. Things that are set, will be information on the animal itself (a drawing of the animal with descriptions), what you call the male, female and baby, new vocabulary, a picture puzzle, and a map of where the animal naturally occur.
But what other type of information can be used for primary and pre-K kids? What else could be brought into the lapbooks that might not be animal specific? Maybe a song or poem?
