First off we are using the text book, work book and audio book purchased through Peace Hill Press.
We then assembled a modified lap book. Why did I decide to three ring binder it?? Durability, lack of a giant stapler, greater function, and I just can't figure out how to properly get them put together.
We found our lap book pages here through the amazing blogger Brenda Johnston http://brendajohnston.blogspot.com .
Since we are using a 3 ring binder I was able to add more content. I found not booking pages AND time line cards over at Tending our Lord's Garden. http://tendingourlordsgarden.blogspot.com/p/recipes.html
The final section of our notebook is the work sheets and map work from the Story of the World Notebook.
Story of the World Volume 1 Chapter 1: Nomads become farmers. We painted cave drawings and made satchels. We modified the satchels to be more universal so we could use them as we progress through time. They also added nicely to the kid's Halloween costumes.
For Story of the World Volume 1 Chapter 2 we were on to Ancient Egypt. We built a model of the Nile. Looking forward to adding some pyramids, mountains and watching as the grasses grow.
What study of Egypt is complete without building pyramids out of Lego.
Here the kids are busy at work constructing the lap book elements, maps and note booking.
Instead of making a crown and staff for the kids Flynn Rider took one for the team and played the part of Pharaoh. Here he is rocking his pharaoh skirt made from felt.
