I was so excited to stumble across the Continent Box idea a whilst back. Sadly, I didn't think of them. Nor had I heard of it prior to just this past year-so my older kids totally missed out. But alas-I have one student who can benefit from it. I will be doing a whole geography series (of posts) as we move through the various continents, but for now-here is what we have in our box. For more (and awesome) ideas, just search Pinterest for Continent Boxes and Geography Boxes. A ton of pins will pop up. Our boxes go on our Geography shelf. The current continent (box) to be studied sits right next to the Montessori sorting box on the second shelf. Extra things go in the basket on the top (in this case, the boomerang) that do not fit inside the Ikea box. Contents for Australia/Oceania Box: *Boomerang (purchased on Ebay) *Australia and New Zealand coins (Ebay) *Australian postcard (received via postcard exchange) *New Zealand Kiwi keepsake (Ebay) *Safari Toob: The Land Down Under (JoAnns-used 50% off coupon) *Little koala bear (I believe that was from a McDonald's Happy Meal promo from way back when. I just bought that toy not the meal) *Pez Tasmanian Devil (grocery store) *Map (Homeschooling in the Woods Olde World Style Maps and I also have the Bright Ideas Press WonderMaps I can use when need be) *General Info on Australia/landmarks of Australia [free] (Montessori Print Shop) *Australian Food (purchased from Montessori Print Shop) *IKEA box (Kassett 2 pk 6.25 X 10) *Australian/Papua New Guinea and New Zealand Stamps (Ebay) *Australian animal and Landmark cards (Target: dollar bin area. Pictures of them to the right. Look during the back to school time or hopefully, you can find these or something similar) We also checked out a ton of books from the library on Australia, New Zealand, Fuji, Tasmania, the Aboriginal peoples and the Maori peoples. I also grabbed some arts and crafts books so that we can do some activities that relate to the area. If I had more kids coming up behind him, I would have purchased more stamps to sort but what I have is sufficient for him. I probably would have bought the Montessori musical instruments, people and animals cards as well, but since my student is now 13-it just wasn't necessary. I only used/laminated the cards that have all the info (not the 2 part matching ones) on it. I do not have any flags in the box because the Homeschooling in the Woods map set has notebook sheets [to fill in various nuggets of info for the region/countries] with an area for a flag. The only thing I won't print are the flags, in order to save on ink since it can be spency. I am purchasing some stickers that he can place there instead. These notebook pages will go into a Countries of the World binder we will build over time. BTW: I could have labeled this the Oceania box but since our kids were taught that Australia is one of the 7 continents, not Oceania, I didn't want to change it. Obviously, you can label it as such. I really don't like how they keep changing things, like the Antarctica Ocean to the Southern Ocean and Pluto being nixed as a planet. I mean leave it alone already. Sheesh. LOL.

See the Creating a Lapbook page for instructions. Some links may under my Amazon Associates, which I would earn a small commission from if you purchase thru that link. Most book images are from Amazon.com. These are the Five in a Row lapbooks we have done, which are from books 1-4. The fourth FIAR guide is only on digital now and I believe you can download each book's lesson plans individually. The general age is for 5-10. FYI: Most downloads are found on Homeschool Share, but due to some changes you may have to search a bit to pull together pieces to create the overall lapbook. I linked to the most direct ones I could find, but again they had to deal with some copyright issues so they renamed, and moved some folders around. **Please note: the Neil Armstrong lapbook is under the general lapbook section but it is a part of the Beyond Five in a Row series. Since it was the only one we did, I just put it there instead of creating another tab for the BFIAR series. ***Also: I put our most of our FIAR into a spiral notebook from Pear Educational Products. It worked wonderfully and kept the FIAR theme all in one place. A New Coat for Anna A New Coat for Anna I have this lapbook up on the Homeschool Share [this was the first ever lapbook I submitted to them and was so pleased to have it available to anyone for free]. I have included a few of the pics from my layout-obviously you can put this together as you wish and it also depends on how many of the mini-booklets you decide to use. All of the instructions and booklets are available on the Homeschool Share site. ***************************************************************** A Pair of Red Clogs: * Mini-Books/Lapbook Components/Additional printouts: You can download the weather chart via my Scribd page This is part of the Weather Wheel you can download from Enchanted Learning (this is a member's only printout but for $20 a year-this is one expense where you will definitely get your money's worth) I created these Weather Telling Game cards to help the kids figure out what the position of their clogs meant. They flipped off their flip flops/clogs and then used the cards to determine what the weather was to be the next day. My Scribd download This may not work-as Scribd is printing differently-you can easily make this at home on your MS Word program. I suggest cutting out the squares and gluing the correct answer to the back of the image. (The answers are below the right images) or simply cut it out in 3 strips. Mini-booklets for lapbook: We did the Flag of Japan, Honesty Bklt, Where is Japan located and the Thermometer Pull Tab booklet. The Japan booklets are found at Homeschool Share but I have not had time to check the thermometer which may be under weather? With the changes some booklets were lost. :( For my son's FIAR book (we did this as a part of our co-op so theirs did not have all these components)-I added an extra goody, the Japan Book found on Enchanted Learning (again-members only PDF) Additional Fun Activities: Weather Telling Game Ashita tenkini nare! (IE: It will be fine tomorrow!) ********************************************************* Arabella pic from Amazon.com There simply was not much available to make a lapbook for Arabella, so we pulled things from everywhere. My son worked on knot tying-which is not in here (the diagrams are-not the ropes) and that about completed this unit. Sources: Enchanted Learning-Label the Sailboat coloring pages of clipper ships I believe I found the knots/knot tying pages on the coloringkidsboys.com site too but right now I cannot find it. I made the of the booklets via MS Word. ******************************************** Bravest of Us All I will have to come back with links as they moved on the site and I have no idea where they went as I am pretty sure I submitted the lapbook components to them many moons ago. ************************************************* Higgins Bend Song and Dance I put a velcro dot on the tackle box to make it easy to open-I just took images from MS Word for the pics for the pieces you'd find in one. Sources: Homeschool Share Fish and Fishing Unit and/or Fish Connections Unit Enchanted Learning-fish diagram (open to both members and non-members to print) ************************************************ Mailing May One of our favorite books to study was Mailing May by Micheal Tunnell. This is a sweet book, and it offers up lots to do for side exploration as well, so you could certainly add many more little booklets on various other topics that tie into the book. The brown pocket slot holds a couple pages of activities The copywork and stamp project are in the brown pocket- the Postal Transportation Time Line is from the Postal Service download noted below. Sources: Copywork page I made, that you can download from my Scribd page. Homeschool Share Idaho Shutterfold I am having difficulty finding the Mailing Me and Train Tickets download so you'll either have to create your own or go on a hunt on the site. There is another-How Much to Mail-but for the life of me, I dunno where that came from. For the Mailing Me booklet-we weighed the kids, then they wrote down how much they weigh then converted the amount to cents (I did a bit of math and came up with May costing about a penny per pound...not 100% accurate but close enough-so they just converted their weight to see what it would have cost them to go by mail) Postal Pack (6th download down from top of listings- it is the Postal Pack for Elementary Students) we chose to do pages 16-19 which is the postal transportation time line project. I also chose to do a few extra activities with my son at home-there is some cool stuff in this) We also added: Potato chips for our snack-being that Idaho is a big producer of tators! As usual for our FIAR books-we did the map disk placement. I own a fabric world map, that I have placed the appropriate Velcro dots on (location of the various books) and then have the story disks for the student to place in the proper spot (of where the story takes place). obviously not all disks are on there for this-I took this pic to show the ones I have right now Also had the kids do a handicraft work of braiding a rug. You can see that info under my CM handicrafts tab. ********************************************* Miss Rumphius Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney is a wonderful book to do in the spring, so that you can plant some of your own Lupine seeds and watch them grow over the summer. Sources: booklets from Homeschool Share (this is the revised and updated lapbook, which looks very nice) We did Where is Maine? and How Seeds Travel as well You can also find more links on plants here Enchanted Learning lots on plants/flowers available-esp. if a member and Life Cycle of the Plant to make it more manageable, I selected adding multiple pages per sheet when printing -you'll have to adjust your page perimeters prior to printing -otherwise, you'll get a much larger booklet of this. Miss Rumphius copywork I created and you can download it from my Scribd page. Project: image from howstuffworks.com The Lupine will tolerate being planted in at the seedling stage, or you can directly sow into the ground. I found the seeds at our local grocery store, and am sure you can find them just about anywhere they sell seeds. ************************************************ Owl Moon Use the Homeschool Share nocturnal animals lapbook and I see a cute moon phase booklet here. They also have a unit on baby owls that you could use with younger kids. I hunted all over and I see that we never did do a lapbook for this book. My son had covered an owl unit at our co-op so that is probably why I never did one. Oh well, you can pull one together using the Homeschool Share site and other resources. This is a neat owl art project, Owl scissor/tearing skills art. I had my son tear the "feathers" but he also cut some. I lightly outlined an owl on a large sheet of black construction paper for him to use as a guide. I then poured some reg. school glue into a container, gave him a paint brush and let him go wild. I came in (per his request) and added a couple speckles and additional feathers for ole Molly. I think it came out adorable. ******************************************************* Snowflake Bentley I had laminated the cover page prior to deciding to use this approach-so I am going to run off another copy to make matching cards-the main piece is removable (ah yes-Velcro'd) to make it easier to use. The cards will then go in the pocket for storage. I looked and found nothing on Snowflake Bentley on the Homeschool Share site so you may have to hunt down different components under different titles such as weather or snow. The entire lapbook opens like a book. So you will bind it on the left by layering in one or two pocketed file folders to create this. I believe I just taped it together with packing tape. Then staple or tape the edges of each file folder at the top and bottom to form a pocket to store extras. These are the paintings my son made using the green plant Styrofoam stuff...carved like snowflakes then coated them with white paint, to which he then stamped out the different flakes. You can find out how to do this at my pal Leslie's blog. She has many, many FIAR posts and ideas (I mean awesome ideas)!!!! The second page (the pocket is now to the left). I got the Snowflakes booklet via Enchanted Learning. I think you need to be a member to access that particular one tho. We also did some borax coated pipe cleaner snowflakes for our science/art project. ************************************************* The Pumpkin Runner The Koala and Kangaroo (under the pic of the bear) was a fun painting project. I found the book at the library (Hand-print Animal Art by the Kids Can! Series) and tried these. We spent most of our time laughing because the kangaroo is so warped looking, but the Koala came out better. That is why he is on top! . You can find most of the components at Homeschool Share, but again-since the change there is no direct link for The Pumpkin Runner. You may have to get creative and make your own or do a big search on the internet for more mini-books. Australia lapbook You can probably find something on pumpkins here. **The blank book is a Pear Educational Products Spiral Bound Project Book. This works perfectly for smaller lapbooks you want to clump together, and all in one convenient large [lap]book.

I need an extra stocking for Christmas AND I have never tried this Foldy Stuff that Mom bought for me last year in Arizona . So after (sort of..) reading the instructions, I decided to try making my own pattern. I didn't want my stocking to be square so my log cabin is going to be a rectangle. Here's hoping for the best!! It's a little like paper piecing....but just a little. You are supposed to put the pattern on muslin but for this piece I just did it on paper. Sew your strip with right sides together on the line. Then fold it over to the next marking. My strips are 2" so when folded it yields about 3/4". I alternated my strips... white...red...white....red working around the log cabin rectangle. This white strip is folded and ready for the next red strip. Just keep working it around and around. It's a first trial and error .....quite a bit of error... and no... I wasn't into the Martinis... yet!! If you notice how the whites do not resonate straight out from each other up and down. It is going to have to due for this year!!  Maybe I should have just tried it square!! Our Christmas Party(more pics of the amazing meal) for Guild was lots of fun!! The gift exchange ranged from a BRICK of Belgian Chocolate... to this cute apron made by Jane Marcotte. After an amazing catered lunch, we rallied the troops and began putting our Martini Time Project together. We are like a team off of Survivor... no one wants to stand out as the leader but once we select the challenge.... we all get in the canoe and start paddling making great headway!! This quilt is off to Terry Whitman's to be longarmed. We are so lucky to have her in our guild!!! I am impressed with how this turned out. The only rules were a white background using the paper pieced Martini glass. The rest was a wing and a prayer!! We fly pretty well from the seat of our pants!! Great job, Everyone!! Christa

The past few months my students have been making feathers for a group mural. This idea was inspired by my friend and celebrity in the art community, Cassie Stephens! Head on over to her blog and check out her magical art teacher'n treasures at Cassie Stephen's Blog!! Her original inspo was international street artist, Kelsey Montague. Her inspiring murals challenge people to ask the question "What Lifts you" "What makes your heart Soar?" My students are going to be writing about their passions and inspirations that "lifts" them! I want each student that comes to my art class to feel as though they are walking out with wings on their back, so they can bravely rise up to their dreams with courage and passion! I want them to feel confident in themselves and know that the sky is the limit! First, students painted on watercolor paper with tempera paint using a value gradient of tints and shades using one color plus black on the left and white on the right. They had to blend the colors so thet the different shades did not look like stripes One group did primary and secondary colors red, orange, yellow, green blue, and violet. The next group would paint intermediate colors, red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red=violet Fourth and fifth graders used 9' by 24' paper and 3rd graders used smaller paper the next class, students then traced different shapes of feathers using white prisma color pencils and cut them out then they decorated them with unique lines and designs with white prisma color pencils My wonderful and extremely talented student teacher, Naz Kaya Erdal and I layed them out on three large sheets of black butcher paper until the feathers looked symmetrical. Once we finished the shape, we taped each feather down to the paper with painter's tape Then I hung that bad boy with TONS and tons and TONS of staples!! The next morning the kids were SO excited to find their feathers turned into GIANT wings!!! I hope the parents who come to visit will snap a pic in front of the wings and post to #ArtisFly and #riseupandsoar hashtags for social media!
