Thanks to all of you for your praise for Sprite’s work. I will pass it along to her.

to Sherri — Yes, I thought she’d outgrow it, but so far she still enjoys the medium.

to Marsha — Well, probably not. If they hate both drawing AND writing, I can’t imagine that a minibook or lapbook would draw them in. Of course, you can paste in pics from copied sources. You don’t have to draw everything.
The good thing about a minibook for a reluctant writer is that it’s small. So even if you did just one sentence for each page, you could write a complete paragraph in a minibook. It may feel more manageable than a blank piece of paper.

I’m learning that’s the way that lapbooking works best in our home too! Most of my kids are old enough now that they can choose their own way of putting a lapbook together, and it IS a more creative endeavor that way!

Oh my! You just do all my work for me! Which I truly appreciate since I'll be teaching art classes six days a week this year, in addition to homeschool. I LOVE this lapbook. Thank you so much! .-= Julie Moses´s last blog ..The Gallery- Blog Carnival of Art Projects for Kids =-.

Here from Sarah's site and so happy to have found you. We are a homeschooling family with ten-year-old twins who were born in China. You have wonderful ideas, and I can't wait to follow along. .-= June´s last blog ..The canoe's story =-.

The cover art is awesome!

I really like following how Sprite is doing lapbooks as she gets older. I suspect (though of course his attitude could change any day) that Gerrick will not want to stop lapbooking anytime soon either.

This is a really neat one! I gave you an award on my blog. Please don't feel any obligations though. .-= sarah in the woods´s last blog ..Art Camp =-.

Do you think the lapbooks/minibooks would be effective for my boys who detest writing and detest drawing even more? Sprite did a great job on the drawing of Dmitri! I am really loving the NOEO Chem. .-= Marsha´s last blog ..Giving thanks =-.
