Last night we finished chapter 5 of The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I am starting to put together activities and minibooks for a literature lapbook, but there are just so many things that can be integrated into the study of this book!
We have not reached this chapter yet, but I have found some activities [...]

Dialogue
That is a word I have heard a lot of lately. We just want to get an open dialogue about this topic. There is such a great dialogue going on.
What is dialogue but a lot of talk and theory?
Every time I go to look for a book on Amazon, I always scroll down to question/message [...]

Just like the Popper family, we have penguins multiplying in our house!
Yesterday we finished up Raven’s Iditarod lapbook, and went to the library to get more books and magazines on penguins. One of the magazines wouldn’t check out, so they just let us have it to keep! It was about the real penuins on Happy [...]

White Stallion of Lipizza by Marguerite Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars Beautiful, informative, great illustrations. This was truly a book for the whole family. Hans works in the family bakery, but his dream is to work with the Famous Lipizzaner Horses that he sees each Sunday as they march to their performance. Will Hans have to let go of his dream, or can determination get him what he wants? Great as a history, geography, and science lesson if you study further about Austria, the Lipizzaner Horses, Horse Training and Anatomy, and WW2 and General Paton's part in saving the Lipizzaners.
