One of the lessons in the Five in a Row Volume IV manual for Albert (a book we recently did a unit study on), is to make your own comic. Here is Elijah’s! Runny Babbit was taking a walk. He meets a few munny fonsters. But it was really just his friends! If you want […]

Stellaluna Lapbook
What do I know? Our camera was only mostly dead. So, we took it to Miracle Max, gave it a chocolate coated pill, and poof- it’s back among the land of the living (mostly living that is). It isn’t doing great, but it’s better than no camera at all. The poor mostly alive camera was […]
Dinosaur Lapbook
This really was a great unit for us. We were able to discuss creation, the fall of man, the effects of sin, and the flood while learning about dinosaurs at the same time! Cover Page (thanks Marie for the photo!) This lapbook is two file folders glued side by side. Here is the first folder: Here […]
FIAR Co-op ~ Daniel’s Duck
I am so behind in blogging all of our FIAR adventures (and our delight-directed studies such as Insects and Tigers…maybe I can get those posted soon!). Here are a few pictures of our Daniel’s Duck co-op. We met at a local park, and we toured a REAL log cabin! We are going to follow up this […]
Dinosaur Dig
This week (and next) we are learning all about dinosaurs. Elijah spent over five hours digging out these bones! He is convinced that he will be a paleontologist.
Little Nino’s Pizzeria
After we rowed Little Nino’s Pizzeria, we went to a local pizza place with co-op and we…MADE PIZZA! Then we made pizza at home (Simon is beoming quite the pizza maker — if you like lots of mushrooms, that is). Every time we make pizza, Elijah wants to call it Little Nino’s Pizzeria Night.
Who Owns the Sun? Lap N Note
Who Owns the Sun? is a FIAR Volume I selection. It is a story of a boy who asks his dad a series of questions…"Who owns the sun? Who owns the wind? Who owns the rain?"…and on he goes. The wise father always replies that no man can own these things, and the wise son […]
Valentine Bears Lapbook
We weren’t sure what to do with the cover. We weren’t sure what to do with all his valentines…so we pasted the valentines to the cover of the lapbook! We added more to the backside. Inside of the book ~ Elijah did a handwriting book of Valentine words. We learned about the Lifecycle of the […]

Making a Gingerbread House
Gingerbread Jamboree Field Trip
Listening to the story. To the kitchen to learn how gingerbread was made long ago; she even showed them how the spices (nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves) were grated and ground. Let’s check the oven and see if the Gingerbread Man is ready to eat. He’s missing! Run, run as fast as you can and […]
The Ragcoat Lapbook
This was a rather simple lapbook for us. I purchased the kit from HOAC, and while I really liked the components, they were just too old for ds (6). We will try it again if we come back around to this book. On the first day of our week, we went to a quilt museum […]
Our Lammy!
Here is Elijah working on our Lamington. Here he is ready for tea-time (Yes! He is STILL in his pajamas!) The purpose of tea-time is to work on manners…do you think I’m succeeding? Oh, and if you are wondering what a Lamington is, it’s an Australian treat! Here is an authentic recipe (ours is OH-so-fake […]

We got together with a friend at the beginning of the week to make WOMBAT STEW! 🙂 Ingredients: water = cool whip colored […]
Paul Revere’s Ride
For one of the lessons at co-op, we learned about Paul Revere and his family. The Revere children would have had to make their own toys, so we made a toy– a cornhusk doll. We also learned about the famous ride (according to the poem) and mapped the route. We made our map look old using tea […]
