Folding a Lapbook Base

Gather the number of folders required for the project. Fold them flat as seen here.

Original fold line

For each folder, fold the left and right sides inward toward the original line to create two flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each flap is touching the original line. It is important not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want

to take a ruler and run it down each crease to

make it sharper.

GLUE

Glue your folders together by putting glue (or you may staple) on the inside of the flaps. Then press the newly glued flaps together with your hands until they get a good strong hold to each other. Follow this step to add as many folders as you need for your project. Most of our lapbooks have either 2 or 3 folders.

My child has made several lapbooks. Can I store all of the lapbooks together in one place?

Yes! A three-ring binder serves as a great place to keep your lapbooks. This method of storage not only keeps your lapbooks from getting lost but also keeps them neat and readily available to share with dad, grandparents, friends, etc. When you are through sharing your lapbooks, just place the three-ring binder back on your bookshelf! Below are step-by-step directions of how to prepare each lapbook to be placed a in a three-ring binder.

Supplies and Storage

Close the lapbook. Measure a piece of duct tape that is as long as the lapbook. Place the edge of the duct tape on the top edge of the lapbook. Then fold the duct tape over so that it can be placed on the bottom edge. Make sure to leave enough duct tape sticking out from the edges to punch three holes. Be careful when punching the holes that you do not punch the holes in the folder. If you do, that’s okay. Then place in three-ring binder. Depending on the size of your three-ring binder, you can store many lapbooks in it.


SAMPLE PAGE

1. Label your tabs: Study Guide/Mini Booklets, Book Log, NICK Notes(easier) or Outline Form (harder), Biography Reports, What I Learned Pages (Copywork and Notebooking, if using these).

2. You will find a master copy of all of these special pages at the back of the lapbook packet. Make copies of the NICK Notes or Outline Form, Biography Report (if included), and What I Learned Pages and put them behind the tabs. Make more copied of the Book Log if your child reads a lot and needs more room to log books. We will explain how your child can use all of these enrichment pages later.

3. Hole punch your study guide and mini-booklets sheets and place behind the Study Guide tab. You will read a page of a study guide. Behind the study guide is the booklet(s) that goes with that study guide.

4. Keeping your office supplies handy-Measure the bottom of a quart size zip-lock bag. Then measure out a strip of duct tape that length. Lay the zip-lock bag on the lower edge of the tape. Fold the other end of the tape down on the zip-lock bag. Your duct tape should be sticking out from the bag. Now, you can hole punch the duct tape strip. DO NOT HOLE PUNCH INTO THE BAG! Then put it into your 3-ring binder. Use this bag to store items you will be using for your lapbook. Glue, scissors, hole puncher, stapler and extra staples, crayons, pencils, brads, ribbon, and any unfinished work. Doing this one step keeps you from having to constantly gather supplies every time you want to work on your lapbook!

Supplies Need:

½ inch three-ring binder

5 tabs (if you are using our copywork and/or notebooking pages, you will need to have 7 tabs. Label with copywork and notebooking)

Quart size baggies

Duct tape

Your study guide and mini-booklets pages and copies of the enrichment pages at the end

Office supplies-glue, scissors, brads, stapler, pencils, crayons, and ribbon (if needed)

How did the Ancient Olympics Begin?

The ancient Olympic Games were first introduced in 776 BC. In these games, representatives from various city-states across ancient Greece got together to compete in athletic games, such as running, discus-throwing and the long-jump. According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded by one of Zeus’ sons, Heracles. The first games were held in Olympia, Greece located near the towns of Elis and Pisa. The first Olympic champion in history is Coroebus. Coroebus, a cook from Elis, won the sole event at the Olympics, the stade - a run of approximately 192 meters (210 yards). This made Coroebus the very first Olympic champion in history.

Prizes were awarded to winners in each competition. Prizes may have included olive wreaths, palm branches, and woolen ribbons.

In the fourth century BC, historian Ephorus is credited with moving the Olympic games to every four years. Later, a set of summer games was added in between. These games, held every two years, became known as the Olympiad. The ancient games continued until 393 A.D., when Emperor Theodosius decreed that all such "pagan cults" be banned.

The modern

Olympics began in

the summer of 1896.

Using the enrichment pages (optional-use only what you would like)

Book Log- A fun place to keep up with extra reading!Your child can do extra reading about the subjects and topics covered in the lapbook. As your child reads, write down the date, title, author and type of book it is on the Book Log.

Biography Book Report (if included)- Learn more about the people you are studying!Let your child choose a person or two that pertains to the subject of the lapbook. Find an exciting biographical book about chosen person. After reading, have your child fill out the information about the person on the Biography Book Report page.

NICK Notes-An easier way to organize informationYour child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. While the study guide is being read, your child will jot down important information under “Notes.” Under “Information and Comments,” your child will write down any additional information that he/she would like to add. Then under “Key Words,” your child will write down important words from the study guide or from the “Notes” section.

Outline Form-A little bit harder way to organize informationYour child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. Write down a major topic from the study guide on line I. Then use A and B to be more specific about topic and to back up and “prove” the chosen topic on line l. Then on lines 1 and 2 under A and B, be even more specific and back up A and B. Then start over with another topic for Line ll. In other words, use this as you would an actual outline form. This may not work for all study guides. Some study guides may not be detailed enough to use the Outline Forms. Use only as it works for your child.

What I Have Learned-Pages for narrationYour child will do one of these for every study guide, or depending on the level of the child, you may select only a few for your child to do. After reading the study guide, your child will narrate (tell orally) what he/she has learned. You will write it down. Or, let the child write it down. There are two versions to choose from: Younger-includes a place to draw a picture. Older-for children who are capable of more writing and narration.
