Anyhow I have some pictures of our Lap Book so far, on Blueberries for Sal. We are having so much fun with this. This is the cover of the Lap Book. The Lap Book is made up of two file folders glued together and I will now have to tape some paper flaps to it as well, to accommodate all the stuff we've been doing.
We made a Library card for the book to learn about the Author, Title, Illustrator and Copyright date. Now he knows what all those things are. Plus he had to cut and paste helping to develop his fine motor skills.
More cutting and pasting, as he learned the life cycle of a blueberry bush. This was his favorite, as it is a wheel.
In the middle, with the shutter doors is a graph of different types of blueberry foods and how many people have tried them. To the right is a series of buckets filled 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, to whole. In the empty bucket, which obviously isn't actually empty, there are little cards which have the fractions written on them for him to practice recognizing fractions and their relative amounts visually. 
On the right you can see a map of the world and a map of the U.S. The book takes place in Maine and so we are learning about Maine. He colored Maine and then we found where we live and we colored that. Then we did the same with Grandparents, where we used to live, where some friends live etc. Then we worked on a map puzzle of the U.S. that his Grandpa Reynolds gave him. He is learning his states well!
On the upper left you can see a flip book where you open it and see the three ways that fruits grow. Bush, tree, and plant.
Here's a pail of clay blueberries that we made to go with the story. Jadon made all the blueberries and helped me assemble the pail. I made the apple, because every teacher needs an apple on their desk!
