I Love Lapbooking!I have often times looked at lapbooks only to wonder how to do them, where to get the resources to do them, and I just stared at them with wonderment. Well, I found this resource for a free Stellaluna Lapbook and jumped! I spent a good bit last night downloading pages and getting everything ready for the children to work on this morning. I was so excited about it I almost wanted to wake them up EXTRA early to start... but I refrained! So here is the cover... It closes with a magnet so that is pretty cool!  This is when you first open the side flaps... We have the anatomy of a bat, some bat trivia, a couple of pictures of bats, some bat facts, and what mammals use echolocation.  This is the first flip up, that brings us to types of bats... Cameo recorded different facts on 4 different types of bats, one bat called the Giant Flying Fox can have a wingspan up to 6 feet wide!!!!  I also added a little bit of Creation Science on the bottom flap to explain that Stellaluna, even though she was raised with birds, ate like birds and acted like birds, she was still a bat. She ADAPTED to her environment and her surroundings, she did things just like a bird.... but she was still a bat!  We have vocabulary words, facts on predators and prey, On what continents you can find fruit bats... Remember I have a 4 year old too, and he colored the traveling man!  We talked about Diurnal and Nocturnal Animals and listed some in each group, we also learned about Carnivores, Omnivores and Herbivores and listed some animals in each group!  Here is a picture on the back of the lapbook that Cameo colored... it is really pretty!  This by far was the most excellent fun we have had in a LONG time and the most awesome part is I can just in conversation say.... Now what was an omnivore??? If you haven't given lapbooks a try I highly recommend them... I can easily say this will NOT be our last! WOO-HOO!!!  My Cup Runneth Over...Chas 09:00 - Thursday, September 27, 2007 - post comment
