Courageous Joy

WooHOO - our first real big lap book completed - all the pages won't upload...but here's enough to figure out what we've been working on. LOL

Here is the cover - I thought this sounded fun and Nolan was game. I noticed Arielle was distracted and then nearly in tears. Turns out she is NOT an abstract gal and hated our cover....so she did a "real" picture for the back. I thought you could tell it was the Mayflower?

As you can tell, I curbed my perfectionist impulses so this would be THEIR project...



Arielle's back cover

Thoughts: I think we enjoyed this. It took a LOT more time than simply reading and narrating back. ::snort:: We didn't do a couple of the books, because I either felt they looked way to much like busy work...or they were above the writing ability of the children. We did add in a little maze that Arielle found and liked, and two pictures of our traditions, as well as the directions to Nine Men's Morris...
