2 Kings Lapfolder




1st and 2nd Kings were great books to study with an 11 year old boy. We had one matchbook minibook for each king of Israel and Judah. On the outside, they are numbered in order and color coded for either Judah or Israel. Inside, we put the numbers of years they reigned, whether they were good or evil, and a significant event that occurred during their reign.

Apologia Zoology 3 Minimalist Notebook



I designed a minimalist notebook for Exploring Creation with Zoology 3. It is just the vocabulary and just the right amount of writing space for a reluctant writer to complete the recommended notebook activities. You can download it here. It is now a pdf file.

All American History Vol 1 & Story of the World Vol 3

A 36 week calendar to complete both books in one year can be found here. This works well after Mystery of History Volume 3.

The Origin of Language

First words revealed to us:

God: "Let there be light"

Adam: "And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name." (Maybe his first word was "cow.")

The serpent: “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

The woman: “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

Timeline Book




A timeline book for history, poetry, and science....anything that has a history. I use Google Images to find illustrations and copy them to OpenOffice draw. I downloaded this Book of Centuries from HSTreasureTrove. In order to add extra pages as needed I used the Rollabind system to hold it together. I like how it lays flat when open.

All American History - Unit Three - Colonial Hall of Fame



Photos of our third folder. I actually made this ahead of time so we can use it as we go along. Two pockets for each category - People and Places. One pocket is for cards we are reviewing and one for those lessons we haven't gotten to yet. That's the plan anyway. The "Steps to War" matching exercise is in the yellow pocket.
