March 30, 2012 in Homeschooling with 0 Comments

I’m headed to the 2:1 Conference!  Huge thanks to my sponsors….

The 2:1 Conference and The Homeschool Classroom for providing my ticket.

Apologia and Grapevine Studies for providing for our travel and lodging needs.

Are you going to be there?  Let me know in the comments so we can make sure to meet up!

Any suggestions for things for Josh to do with the boys while I’m at the conference?  Can’t miss family activities and attractions in the area?  We’re planning to go to the Air and Space Museum because we know that Jonathan will love that.  Leave a comment with your favorite places in DC!

You can get in on the fun too!

The Apple and The Arrow Supplemental Lapbook

We’re working our way through the books in Sonlight Core A.  We recently read The Apple and The Arrow.  This book is about the legend of William Tell and the revolt that led to the beginning of Switzerland.  It’s a fascinating story, but I felt like we needed something a little more to go with this book to help Jonathan understand it.

I did a search and come across this great FREE unit study and lapbook for The Apple and The Arrow at Homeschool Share.  Jonathan and I have spent this past week working on this lapbook.  We focused mostly on the parts directly related to the book; I chose not to take the math and science side trails that are offered in the unit study.

Take a look at his completed lapbook:

Jonathan was very vocal about how much he enjoyed working on this lapbook.  It really helped him internalize the themes in the story.
