I loved these! I printed them out in poster mode for each of my children's chores. If it said "Feed pets" but I wanted her to clean the litterbox, we just used it anyway and remembered that the pet picture meant to do the litterbox. I took them to be laminated, punched a hole in the corners, added a ring binder and a ball chain. Now we have chore cards that we wear. We just flip the card as the chore is completed. It has helped stop the "now what" syndrome. We have graduated to different chores so I need to update, but I kept the extra cards and will laminate them... Loved them! Thank you, thank you!

My 8 year old daughter has taken two different art classes from Mrs. Angie and loves it. Mrs. Angie is a skilled artist and has a gift for teaching what she loves to the children. Her art classes have been a blessing to our child. If your children love nature and want to create beautiful things I'm confident you won't be disappointed ! Have fun !

My 5 year old daughter loved this unit. She learned a lot of new things about her birthday which is led us off onto some new unit studies. My favorite part were the ideas for how to make the birthday week celebration special with some craft ideas. We will be doing this every year with all 3 kids from now on.

Chores - that's what this product is all about! It has given me so many ideas! I forget that part of teaching my kids is having them help around the house with every day items like dusting. I sometimes just go and dust and forget to grab a little one and show them how to dust. Thanks for the product and the charts look great!

What wonderful ideas about Alaska! I son would love to go one day but until then product has given me some great things to introduce my son to Alaska the state that isn't attached to the other 48 but has lots of wonders for us to learn and maybe one day explore! Some of the activities are for younger kids like my son while others are for older which was nice.

Thank you so much for this product! I hate searching the internet for ideas and yet I have a crafty girl that loves anything hands on!
I love that it gives links to lots of freebies that I never even knew about! Somebody took a lot of time to put this together and I just want to thank you! It's a great resource and I will be using it again and again!

My daughter loved this class! First, she loves anything American Girl. Second, we have tried to go to a local American Girl Club but it always ends up being on a day we have something else planned so when I read about this class I knew we had to join. The class or should I say club offered so much more then I thought it would. My daughter got to post her thoughts and read her classmates thoughts about each chapter. Each week we got to see the teacher do a hands on project one time it was cooking which we loved! The teacher even went into how Felicity would have made the treat even though we thankfully made it from basic around the house cooking supplies. To top it all off a jounral with given each week with activites that were amazing. They went right along with the chapter that was assigned to read each week even a few folds ( I think they are like what people do in file folder - lap book) as well as my daughter even learned a few new words. Each week she would wait to get on the comp...

While my 3 and a half year old enjoyed doing much of this lapbook, there were a few frustrating parts for both of us and it definitely did not go over as well as the insects folder. For one thing, I found the font used for handwriting practice to be odd. None of the handwriting books I used with my older girls formed letters this way, so I replaced the page with one I made. Also, this folder contained more cut and paste activities requiring fairly small motor actions which were frustrating at this point. Particularly, the pieces for the Road Sign activity are rather small, though my daughter will likely grow into them in a couple of years. Plus, a few of the pictures used for identifying beginning sounds were not the best choices based on sound. For instance, while owl does start with 'o' the beginning sound in this word is 'ow' so it is not phonemically easy to identify as an 'o' sound.
On the up side, the shape awareness was great. We enjoyed the list of optional activities that...

My little girl and I had so much fun with this unit. First, she's watched her big sisters build lapbooks so she was quite excited to have one all her own. Second, there were lots of fun bug activities and pictures. Being only three and half she's not ready for all of the activities, but she's delighted to have school work like her big sisters. In many cases, she could simply color the page without doing the full activity. Later, I can print another copy and have her do the full activity when she's ready. This makes the folder very flexible and adaptable, which I like for this age group. I also chose to make it more flexible by laminating a few key pieces. This way, she has a wipe off page for practicing letters and the bug find (huge hit) can be done over and over.
The only negative comment I have is that there are no directions for actually making the folder / lapbook. For a mom who has done them before, this should not pose a problem. There are a few pictures. However, if you've n...

Ooops! Reading back over that last review I see it needs a quick edit:
The Na'Dene & Algic speakers are two of the three largest aboriginal language families in what is now Canada & the United States - not 1/3 familes!

This book consists of 25 blackline maps (each in versions both with and without labels) that cover the period from 1600 - 1850. Of these, twelve deal with the region normally called the New World (i.e. North, Central & South America with surrounding oceans.) Australia, discovered by Europeans in the 17th century and settled as a penal colony in the late 18th century, is represented in one map that simply shows the voyages of James Cook and Abel Tazman in the region. The other half of the book is given over to maps that can be used to situate the events of the New World against the background of world history: the expansion of Russia and of Sweden; Elizabethan London and the Industrial Revolution in England; the United Netherlands which established colonies in the New World; the kingdoms of China & Japan during the period; the exploitation of Africa, etc.
Maps in the book tend to be very simple, often with no scale or key although some do include this. Labelling is clear and easy to ...

This is a nice simple template that my children ages 4 to 7 will enjoy! They love to write stories, and it's nice to have the ideas for each page laid out for them. Now that we're a month into summertime, I know they will each have plenty to say and draw for each page.
Well-thought out, and simple. Thank you.

I felt a little disappointed in this planner. There were a lot of pages that were duplicates of other pages. If an ebook says that it has 100 pgs, I expect it to have that many unique pages. I know that there will be several pages devoted to the cover, back cover, blank page, title and author page, etc. However, this ebook has several copies of the exact same form. Part of the benefit of an ebook planner is that you can print multiple copies of the same form. This one, in my humble opinion, wastes that feature by including several copies of the same form.
That being said, there are some cool forms and calendars here.
I would have liked more variety of design and/or decoration....

Wow! Thank you for such a great product TBB! And it is free, which is even more nice.
The clipart is excellent for lapbooks or notebooking or making your own creations with other programs. I wish more PDF files that are made for the homeschool market were like this!
