A few nights ago the Iowa Caucus was on tv. My ten year old came in, sat down, asked what a caucus was and then seconds later answered her own question. The 2020 U.S. elections are in full swing and BookShark’s U.S. Elections Lap Book couldn’t have come into our lives at a better time! ...

I have shared a lot of my favorite resources but I wanted to share a few more of my favorites as tomorrow is the big day. I am taking a poll...
I cannot wait to tell you about this hands-on history activity I was given a chance to review. I am absolutely thrilled to have been able to review Make-a-State Activity from Homeschool in the Woods which is part of their Activity-Paks series. Homeschool in the Woods is a hands-on history company that offers multiple product lines and plenty of historical learning for everyone. Before I get started with the review, I want to tell you about their most recent addition to the hands-on history company's product line: A NOTE ABOUT AN ALL NEW PRODUCT FROM HOMESCHOOL IN THE WOODS! Home School in the Woods just announced a new A-La-Carte projects ! This is a way to piece together each of the projects you are interested in without having to purchase the entire unit study! SPECIAL OFFER: Use the code alacarte at checkout to get the Erie Canal project on that page for free. The Erie Canal project has specifically been chosen because it is the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the canal this week! Other members of the Homeschool Review Crew got to try out additional Activity-Paks: Activity-Paks *The Old Testament *The New Testament *Composers *Artists Still other members of the Crew have been working with tons of additional products, so be sure to check out what they have to say about: Time Traveler American *New World Explorers *Colonial Life *The American Revolution *The Early 19th Century *The Civil War *Industrial Revolution through Great Depression *World War II Lap-Paks *U.S. Elections *20th Century in America *Wonders of the World *Benjamin Franklin *Knights Timeline Trio The following video explains the differences between each of their multiple product lines: What is Make-a-State Activity? Make-a-State Activity Pak is part of the Homeschool in the Woods Activity-Pak line of products which is just one example of what this hands-on history company offers from their multiple line of products. If you've ever done a unit study that uses a Lap Book as the central focus activity, then you have a pretty good idea about how this works. However, the Activity-Pak series offers more than just a lap book. It also provides suggestions for games and additional activities that correspond with the study. The nice thing about the Make-A-State Activity Pak is that everything is right there on the computer in a download, and you click on the links to print the materials as you need them for study and to make your Lap-Pak. There is always a Timeline included along with all of the printables needed. This study allows you to make a lapbook for each of the 50 states, and this particular study also came with a State Folder Game - Name That State. Each of the 50 state lapbooks cover 20 activities: Key State Facts Origin of State Name State Motto State Symbols State Song State Industry / Agriculture / Climate State Wildlife Regions State Geography State Government State Seal & Flag State History Famous People From... Native Tribes State Landmarks Sports Teams State Quarters Recipes State Vocabulary State Timeline Bonus: State Pages that provide summary information about each state as well as Washington D.C. Name That State File Folder Game How Did We Use It? I previously had the privilege of reviewing Project Passport World History Study: The Middle Ages, and HISTORY Through the Ages Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Greece from Homeschool in the Woods, so I was excited to get to take a look at the Make-a-State Activity-Pak. My 10-year-old absolutely loves lapbooks and anything hands-on or artsy/craftsy. So, this is right up her alley. I was so excited because we began the study of the states last year but never finished so this couldn't have come at a better time. Also, we are planning a trip to WI and MI this summer, so I wanted my daughter to be fully knowledgeable about her surroundings as we visit. What Did We Think? I absolutely love the in-depth study that corresponds with the hands-on activities in these Paks. Of course, it requires making sure your ink cartridges are full and ready to print before you begin, but the final product is a nice, easy-to-file record of your child's work. Ultimately, anything that is hands-on is a hit with my youngest, so Homeschool in the Woods hits the mark for us since it's a hands-on history company that offers multiple product lines, with the history information-packed Activity-Paks series being one of them.

We thoroughly enjoy lapbooking. Over the years we’ve done lapbooks to go along with literature books we’ve read. We’ve done unit studies that used lapbooks, and we’ve used lapbooking as a hands-on way to learn about various topics. Because we have an election coming up, I was very excited to have an opportunity to use

This review came along at such a great time, with the upcoming election this year! We could have been more thrilled to get a chance to try HISTORY Through the Ages Hands-on History Lap-Pak: U.S. Elections from Home School in the Woods. I honestly do not remember a lot about the election process from when I was in school. So, I thought this would be a great time to learn myself (as I often do, while homeschooling). We received this product as a digital file, it includes all you need to complete the lapbook, as well as a list of additional materials to add in (if you choose) to compound on the study of US Elections. For this review, we only used the provided reading material (also provided in audio digital format), and the lap book materials. Many of the activities for the lapbook provided two options; one to fill in the information yourself (or for your child), or one that was already filled in (the one my son always prefers). I used this with my 9-year-old. He enjoys making lapbooks, but the excess writing that is sometimes associated with lapbooking really takes the fun out of it for him. I was grateful for the already filled in options, so that it did not have to be an issue. This allowed us to be able to focus on the process and learning. This also makes this lapbook adaptable for a wide range of ages! We used this product an average of 3 days a week, in addition to our regular studies. It was really easy, and did not add a lot of time to our school day (minutes only, really) to do just one section of the lapbook each day. We have not completed the lapbook yet, but will continue working on it. We both have learned a lot during this unit. Each lesson consisted of me reading a section of the provided booklet (or you could listen to the audio portion), while my son cut out the corresponding lapbook materials, pieced them together and then set them to the side. We collected all materials first, then put the lapbook together. Though we aren’t finished yet, we did put together what we have done so far, to show for this review. (SEE Below) For printing the materials, I just put a wide variety of colors (in no apparent order) into the printer and print all of them at one time. You could use a more precise means of doing this, but for me this was the easiest way. I did not have to purchase any special materials for this product, we had everything on hand already, and honestly even if you didn’t have colored folders or paper, it could be done with manila folders and white paper and crayons (markers or pencils). There is room for flexibility of materials, so do not feel like you have to buy special stuff. It’s up to you! We have used Homeschool in the Woods products before (see our Civil War review) and this product was just as great! Since the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primaries took place during our review of the product, as well as some debates…we kept abreast of those events through News O Matic (a FREE news app for kids). Here is what we have done so far! Can’t wait to finish it! The downloadable product is available for $18.95 and is recommended for grades 3-8. My son is 4th grade (age 9). There are 21 lapbook projects total in this unit, so at one project a day, this project would take 21 days. Some projects are quick, meaning you could easily do more than one in a sitting, additional resources added in to extend the lessons. It is really flexible! I highly recommend this project based unit, particularly as we head into this election year!
