Where do the mini-booklets go? A folder-shaped Layout key is included for each lapbook. This key is an overview that shows you where the booklets go. here is also a key at the top of each booklet page that shows where to place the booklet in each folder.

How do I use the book(s) with the lapbook(s)? Each lapbook activity is meant to be completed after reading a group of two chapters. The contents page shows which lapbook topics go with the chapters in the book. Each page in the lapbook also shows the chapter(s) to read before beginning the lapbook study guides and mini-booklet.

The pictures below show how to fold the file folder(s) to create a lapbook. Lapbooks may be completed and stored separately, or you can glue lapbooks together. The Stepping Stones lapbooks are intended to be glued as two-folder lapbooks (books 1-2, 3-4, 5-6).

4. To glue the folders together, apply a generous amount of white glue to two flaps. Bring the flaps together and press. Hold together

with paper clips until completely dry.

1. Open up the folder and flatten it out.

2. Fold the first side all the way over until the tab just touches the

middle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab.

3. Fold the left-hand side over just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder

now has two flaps. Run a ruler down each fold to make the

fold neater and flatter.

5. Repeat with the remaining file folders. HINT: complete the

activities first THEN glue the folders

together when you are finished.

Now Andi must try and find her before she can return home. PLOT EVENTS (list anything that happened in the story); SOLUTION: Andi learns her lesson, finds Taffy, and returns home.


Next to her family, Andi loves her horse Taffy more than anything in the world. But—as Andi’s brother Chad knows—owning a horse is a big responsibility. Even though Andi loves Taffy, she also finds herself in plenty of mischief because she does not think things through and forgets to care for her horse. Many times we relish the idea of doing or owning something. Yet when the time comes to “get our hands dirty,” we often find excuses not to do the work.

Caring for horses is a lot of work. They have to be fed, watered, exercised, groomed, have their feet trimmed and shod, and have their stalls mucked out. In the 1800s, many of those tasks were not difficult. Most horses grazed out on the range. Most ranchers raised their own fodder (hay and oats) to feed their horses the rest of the time.

Watering a stalled horse was more work, however. There were no faucets and hoses in 1880. Instead, a hand pump (or windmill) brought water into a large trough in the yard. From there, water had to be hauled by bucket to the thirsty animals. (No wonder Andi forgets this job so often. Water buckets are heavy.)

But mucking out stalls is by far the most work—then and now—and it is very important. If a horse’s stall is not kept clean, he can get sick, get an infection in his hooves, or have lung problems from breathing the ammonia from his own urine. Have you ever walked into a dirty and unkempt horse barn? The smell can be horrible if the stall has not been tended. So, how do you think the poor horse feels?

Mucking a stall is not difficult if you have the proper tools. The first thing you need is a pitch fork. A pitch fork looks like a giant table fork. It is used to pick up the soiled bedding (usually hay). A pitch fork does not work very well on dry shavings, but it can pick up wet shavings that stick together (from urine) and solid waste (horse manure). By removing the waste only and leaving the good bedding behind, you can save money and the work of hauling clean bedding into the stall. The soiled bedding and manure goes into a wheelbarrow for easy removal. Add clean bedding if needed.

After cleaning the stall, look around for uneaten grain or hay or old apples. Clean out the grain bucket. Then take out the water bucket, rinse it out, and refill with fresh water.

Once finished, remember to put the stall-cleaning tools back where they belong. This is another of Andi’s shortcomings. She often leaves the stall cleaning tools lying around, which annoys the ranch boss (her brother Chad).

1800s Livery Stables

A livery stable in the 1800s was a building in town where horses, wagons, buggies, and carriages were available for hire. People could also pay a daily, weekly, or monthly fee to have someone board (take care of) their own horses. Some liveries were near the hotels or boarding houses travelers visited so they could have easy access to their horses and buggies.

But the livery stable was much more than a “hotel for horses” or a place to keep your carriage safe while staying in town. In addition to providing transportation and boarding services, the livery was a good source of tack (horse equipment like saddles and bridles), hay, grain, coal, and wood. The livery owner often bought, sold, or traded horses as well. Liveries usually did not smell very good and sometimes were dark and dirty. Because of the stench, noise, and pests (like fleas and mice) that surrounded the livery, towns tried to control their locations and activities.

Depending on who owned the livery, it could often be the scene of gambling and cockfighting. Many people did not think highly of livery stables and those who ran them.



Folder Read “1800s Livery Stables”Color the horse your favorite horse color. Cut around the livery stable on the dotted line and glue the entire piece into your lapbook. As Andi was looking through the livery stable for Taffy, she found many items that are needed to ride and care for a horse. Reread page 58 (original) or 67 (anniversary). Cut out the supplies on the next page. Glue them onto the horse in the correct location. Draw hay on the floor of the barn.



A bridle is used to help you control your horse. Do not cut out this picture. Instead, study it and then draw a bridle

and reins on the horse in the livery stable.

Here are some of the items Andi found in the livery stable. Follow the instructions for each item and glue onto the horse and livery stable in your lapbook. When you are finished, you may draw other items (like a harness)

hanging from the nails.

Sometimes people hang a horseshoe over the door of their

barn or livery for “good luck.”

Saddle Blanket: this goes on the horse first, under

the saddle

Cut out the rope and either hang it on the saddle horn or on the

barn wall.

Feed: this goes in a corner of the barn

Saddle: put this on the horse after the saddle

blanket

Saddle bags go behind the saddle or in a corner

of the livery

Barrel: this goes in the left hand corner of the livery. It might be

filled with tobacco or grain.

Treating Others with Respect:While Andi is working in the Livingston home as a servant, she witnesses how disrespectful and mean Felicity and her family are to the Garduno family and to her as well. How should you treat other people, especially if you are a Christian? The Bible has the answers for every question about life and how to live it to please Christ. Directions: Cut out the pieces on this page and the next. Stack them together with the cover piece on top. Staple along the top and glue into lapbook. Each sheet has a Bible verse written on it. Look up each verse and read it. Now, in your own words, write what each Bible verse is saying about how you should treat others.



Samuel Morse and the Telegraph

Just when Andi finds Taffy and thinks her troubles are over, she is attacked by Felicity. The housekeeper, Mrs. Nelson, has found a “MISSING” poster of Andi. Realizing how badly Andi is hurt, she shows the poster to Mr. Livingston. Instead of doing the right thing and telegraphing Andi’s family, he forbids her to leave until she gets better. A telegram would be a quick way to let the Carters know where Andi is. It was a marvelous invention and by 1880 had connected the entire country. However, in a few years, the telephone would quickly replace the telegraph.

The word “telegraph” comes from two Greek words: tele meaning “far” and graph, meaning “writing.” So telegraph means “far writing.” This new invention allowed messages to be sent over long distances by using wires and electricity. This new way of sending messages was invented by Samuel Morse. He used a “dot and dash” system to send pulses of electric current over a wire. The combination of dots and dashes stood for letters of the alphabet. Samuel Morse sent the first telegraphed message on May 24, 1844. It went from the old Supreme Court in the U.S. capitol in Washington, D.C. to his business partner in Baltimore, Maryland. The first message to go across the line was from Numbers 23:23. It said, “What hath God wrought?”

The International Morse Code(dots and dashes for letters)



FolderRead “Samuel Morse” and pages 102-103 in the book (original) or pages 114-115 (anniversary edition).Mr. Livingston should do the right thing and let the Carters know that Andi is okay. A quick way to do that in 1880 was by telegraph. Directions: Cut out the pieces. DO NOT CUT OFF THE TABS. Stack together—with title page (“Samuel Morse”) on top—and staple the left side. Fill out the information for each page.

A well-written story is like a puzzle. It needs five “pieces” or “elements” to make it complete:1. Characters: Who is in the story?2. Setting: Where does the story take place?3. Story Problem: What problem does the main character have to solve?4. Plot: What are the story events that take place as the character solves the problem?5. Solution: How does the story end? Is the story problem solved or dealt with?

If one or more of the above elements is missing from your story, it will feel incomplete. When you write a story, make sure you include these five elements.Find the five story elements for Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home.
