(It includes everything from this, the original book, as well as many sample lapbooks to help get you started. And it only costs $1.00 more ) What is Lapbooking? A lapbook is a portable project filled with pictures and other neat information about a topic. It's a great hands-on way for students to start learning about a topic, or to wrap up a study. But many teachers/parents are intimidated by where to begin with these great resources. Our goal here: Our goal is to...

A fun introduction to the Alphabet for young students. It includes: A coloring picture for each letter. Two word searches for each/letter. The first word search for each is done with upper case letters, a shorter word list, and larger font size. The more difficult one uses more words, lower case letters, and smaller font. Depending on the age and ability of your student, you may want to save the second word searches for later.

This Study Guide includes a brief timeline of the Shorter Catechism, the 107 Questions and Answers, and two different sets of Questions with room to write out the Answers (one with the Answers given - for "copywork," and one without the Answers, to practice writing the Answers from memory).

Mock Trial, or Youth Judicial as it is sometimes called, is one of the most enjoyable, and beneficial events that my high school students have participated in over the last sixteen years. As the coach, I enjoy Mock Trial immensely, and my goal is to have my students enjoy it as well. This story is meant to be an example of how a "Mock Trial" can go. If you are unfamiliar with the program, it will introduce you to it. If you are familiar with it, you may be able to recognize the "good" and "bad" teams in the story. This story is based on a trial that actually occurred, with some major changes...

A family-friendly novel of Leonardo da Vinci's many productive years in Milan. Follow Leonardo as he works for the Duke of Milan, paints the Last Supper, studies architecture, and much more This novel is written at a young adult level; it has been enjoyed by adults, but also makes a great read-aloud for younger students. This book is the second in the series of historically based novels on da Vinci's life - The Life and Travels of Da Vinci. Chronologically it follows Leonardo the Florentine and precedes Masterpieces in Milan, but the books can be read and enjoyed in any order.

Fifty-five men assembled in Philadelphia that summer: Men from 12 different states, men with different passions and views, some from the North, and some from the South. They disagreed on much. But they also agreed on some key points, eventually concurring (for the most part) that a new form of government was necessary, and that they had been assembled there to create it. Some wanted to see a "Federal" Government kept in place -- keeping most power with the States where it belonged; others wanted a more "National" Government formed -- where the People counted more than those "imaginary...

This is a fun look at a family trip to Orlando and Silver Springs, Florida, from the viewpoint of our stuffed alligator. In fact, Al can introduce his story better than we can: "Hi, have we met yet? I'm Al, Alligator Al. I know, I know, not exactly an original name, but hey, you don't get to pick your name. Maybe you've met some of my friends: Horsey took a trip to Panama, and Bandit took a trip to Washington D.C. I didn't get to have an adventure with either of them, but I had my own adventure. One cold November, my family decided they needed a vacation. "Sunny" Florida sounded good. In...
