Next Lapbook Topic
I have decided that our (well Joel's) next Lapbook topic will be "Grammar" - how boring does that sound?!! But he has difficulty remembering all the different 'types' of words - well there are a lot to learn and I don't think I ever remembered them!! Despite going over and over them (with Jolly Grammar) he still can't remember them, so I'm hoping that making a lapbook will do the trick - visual and physical skill coming into play 
And if he hasn't 'got it' by the time the book is made he can go back to it over and over to remind himself - which I hope he will. I actually don't think it will be that boring - I shall try not to let it be!!
Anyway, I'd best go do something constructive with the kids today (spent the whole day playing at finding a new blog-site yesterday) - poor neglected loves, but fortunately a friend of theirs did come round to play, so that helped (but not with the mess!!). I've promised the boys they can make a 'zook' (from Bamzooki) on the computer with me today and that Abbie can make a crocodile thing - so best get busy!!
Looking forward to seeing how this blog works - if it doesn't you'll find me back in blogger in about a month!!
