Story of Ping

K and I "rowed" the story of Ping by Marjorie Flack a couple of weeks ago. Here's the lapbook we completed. He learned about China, the Yangtze river, buoyancy, and discretion. We also did a little math, but he got tired of coloring all of Ping's cousins, he had 42 of them. He learned that China is a country in Asia and about it's flag. He even drew his own picture of Ping. We took our time and did it over a 2 week period.

Inauguration

Here is a lapbook the girls did about the Inauguration. We all learned a lot about the celebrations and traditions throughout history. There was a lot we weren't able to put in the lapbook.

This side tells of the traditions, morning worship, and procession.

This side tells of the swearing-in ceremonies, how and when the (former) President and First Lady vacate the White House and a few other facts about the history of the Inauguration.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Here is a picture of the lapbook the girls did about Martin Luther King, Jr.

Here's the inside...

The bottom is a timeline of his life that unfolds. The little booklet in the top right are some of his quotes. The Martin and me book in the middle compares some of the girls' similarities to Martin's (i.e. siblings, parents names, birthplaces, date of birth, etc.) There's even some information about Alabama in the lapbook. We also read his "I Have a Dream" Speech and attached it to the back of the folder.

I think I learned more about him helping them do the lapbook than I did the entire time I was in school.
