This is a review for the 20th century history lapbook (grades 3-8) from Homeschool in the Woods. As you know, we love lapbooks here so I was super excited to try their history lapbook.
I had not used any of their products before but had heard wonderful things about them. The product definitely lived up to my expectations.

Each minibook held a lot of information and some were quite elaborate, which took my son awhile to get use to the new style. They were definitely more involved and contained so much information.

This is my first review for the Schoolhouse Review Crew and I’m lucky enough to get the chance to review the subscription to SchoolhouseTeachers.com from The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.

It’s a bit overwhelming at first because there are so many subsections and you don’t know where to start first. There are lessons for children from pre-k to high school. I don’t have any high school students, so I didn’t spend much time there.

We love lapbooks here and I was excited to find a lapbooking section in the early elementary section. Each month, there is a new lesson and then another file for the actual mini books. They’re made from the people from Hands of a Child and I love their lapbooks. [Read more...]
