We completed the World War I lapbook from Hands of a Child on Friday. I appreciated having their resource guide. I basically used their guide to teach the material. We listened to Story of the World, watched Sergeant York, and read a few supplementary books as well. This was the first HOAC lapbook that we…

Sod House
We are starting a study of pioneers in history. Today I read Sod Houses on the Great Plains by Glen Rounds to the kids. Then we built a sod house from brownies. That project idea came from Projects About Westward Expansion by Marian Broida. A similar project can also be found in Great Pioneer Projects…
Gingerbread Houses
I am really behind on my posting, but I wanted to shared these pictures anyway. Over our Christmas holiday we went to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC (we didn’t stay there!) and looked at gingerbread houses that were on display for a contest. These houses were absolutely incredible. We couldn’t believe some of…

Inventor Lapbook
Here are the pictures of my ds lapbook on inventors. He’s 9-1/2 years old. My daughter made one too, but they’re similar so I’m not posting pictures of hers. By Kristen H.
