I wanted to share some more about my first grader's reading program. A few weeks ago I printed off the book Gaggle, Herd and Murder from Reading A-Z for him to read. He really likes to learn about animals and I knew he would enjoy this book about the names for various groups of animals. After he read it a few times, I had him choose one of the animals from the book to research. He chose jellyfish. In the photo above you can see the printed book and the cover of the lapbook we made about jellyfish. In the photo below you can see a photo of the page from Gaggle, Herd and Murder that was about jellyfish.
The rest of the photos are of some of the various lapbook components. All the lapbook pieces are from Homeschoolshare. We checked out some books about jellyfish from the library and used that information to fill in the mini-books. This project took us about a week to complete with my little guy writing on 2-3 mini-books each day. This was a great way to incorporate reading, writing, and science all into one activity. I think more lapbooks are in our future for sure. He was proud to show his finished book off to his grandmas.
Great unit study!
