I woke up this morning wondering what I could talk about today. Hmm…and then, I received an email from NotebookingPages.com talking about the latest from Jeannie Fulbright and the Apologia science curriculum. As a homeschooling mom, we are HUGE fans of the Exploring Creation Series with Apologia! New to notebooking, we are quickly becoming fans of it, too!
Apologia
is now producing notebooking journals that accompany each of the elementary
science books. Both Botany and Astronomy are now available. You can see samples
on the Apologia website here:
These journals
are beautiful spiral bound notebooks that will save you time and money. You
won't have to print and keep up with your child's notebook pages, buy and
maintain page protectors, or purchase and compile binders…everything that
makes notebooking time-consuming and labor intensive for mom. Also, your child
will adore having their own notebooking journal.
Each of
the notebooking journals include:
- A
daily schedule for those who like to have a plan or would like their
children to complete the book on their own - Templates
for written narrations, the notebooking activities and experiments - Review
Questions - Scripture
Copywork, with both print and cursive practice - Reading
lists and additional activities, projects, experiments for each lesson - An
appendix with beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books - Field
Trip Sheets to keep a record field trips - A
Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or
in writing to show off all they remember and know at the end of the
course.
