Some Fun Accessories!

I thought I'd post some sites where I have found helpful activities for reinforcing things we are doing in school:

Lapbook for Story of the World - We are using this as a review at the end of each "term" of school.  We school 6 weeks on and one week off, so every 6th week, we take a break from reading our history and instead review what we have already covered using the lapbook as a fun way to interact with the material in a different way. This lapbook is offered free by a mom who has worked hard to put it all together.  She has years 1 & 2 done so far. 

Lapbook for our Botany lessons - Similarly, we will be (just bought this) using this as a review of what we have covered in our science lessons.  This lapbook does have to be purchased, but I think it is worth the price ($20) to not have to create something on my own.

Lapbooks for my preschooler - I could take the time to make my own, but here are some resources that I have found helpful in gathering things for him to do with me:
