Getting Started

This Resource Kit contains 13 lessons. The lessons vary in length but itis expected that each will take 1 1 hours to complete depending onthe activities you choose and the additional activities or reading yourchild does. The books are easily read by most students however one ofthe reasons we have chosen to homeschool is to share in thediscoveries of learning with our children. We suggest parents read withtheir child/ren the books suggested.

Vocabulary

This unit suggests your child learn a variety of vocabulary words. Wesuggest creating a library pocket for your words and defining thewords on small cards that will sit in the pocket. Another idea would beto make a lift the flap book for vocab words.

Create a pocket for your lapbook and make little cards with definitionsfor each word to go in the pocket.

If you are not making a lapbook, simply define these words on a sheet

of paper inside your notebook.

It is very helpful for students to review all previously learned words atthe beginning of each lesson. For example, at the start of lesson 2review any words learned in lesson 1. At the start of lesson 3 review allwords learned in lessons 1 and 2, and so on.

Natural Resources Notebook

As with all our Resource Kits, these materials are meant to be used as aguide. Supplementing with additional reading, library books, andactivities will certainly round out your childs education. Use ouractivities, readings and notebooking ideas as a guideline but do not feelthat you must do everything! Have fun. Spend time with your childexploring the amazing wonders of Canada.

If you are wishing to cover these outcomes in their entirety it isrecommended that you have your student keep a daily notebook of allactivities and readings. Digital photographs can be printed and used inthe students notebook. Writing daily about what was learned will help

the student remember what they did and why things work.

About Lapbooks and Lapbooking

Lapbooking is the term for taking a paper file folder and refolding it sothat there are two covers on the front. It is held vertically, with the 11inch long side being held in a vertical position. It is refolded so that onecover opens to the left and the other cover opens to the right. Thislapbook is dedicated to one topic of study. The child then makesminiature books and little folded flaps about content of that subjectarea. Those little books are glued to the inside of this lapbook.Extensions can be made, with card stock paper or tag board paper, tomake the lapbook have more surfaces in which to place books. Thecover can be decorated.

About Notebooks and Notebooking

The big difference between notebooks and lapbooks is that in

lapbooking the information is made into tiny books, which are gluedinside of a file folder. With notebooking a child may make little booksbut they are glued into pages which are 3 hole punched and put insideof a 3 ring binder notebook. Also some people use notebooks likescrapbooks and can add in things like pressed flowers, real driedleaves, photographs your family took, et cetera. Notebooking can covera whole subject such as Provinces and Territories of Canada and may

hold an inch thick stack of papers, while lapbooking is smaller/thinnerand holds less information. Subjects for lapbooking may cover smallertopics such as British Columbia or Provincial Birds of Canada.

Below some sites about lapbooking and notebooking are listed for yourreference.

**For other lapbook/notebook ideas and templates visit Kathys blog:

http://homeschoolheart2heart.wordpress.com/

It is not essential that you make a true notebook or lapbook tocomplete this unit. What is important is that your child becomesengaged in the learning and does something with the learning. To justread a book is a start but to take that information and do somethingwith it helps the student to learn and remember. Other project ideasare: scrapbooks, lapbooks, notebooks, computer projects, movies,display boards, shoeboxes as dioramas, and so much more. Use your

imagination and dig into the topics!
