We were so excited to review lapbooks from A Journey Through Learning! I received downloads and printed them out myself for 3 of my kids.

I printed out Letters, Numbers and Shapes (recommended for ages 3-5) for Alex, even though he turns three TODAY! He did awesome.

I printed out TWO COPIES of Knights and Castles (recommended for grades 2-7) for the girls. Kate is almost 6 and Tori just turned 7. They’re not quite in 2nd grade yet.

Luckily, I had lots of file folders lying around and I glued them together as shown in the instructions. Easy peasy! {I recommend gluing the folders together ASAP so they will be dry and ready…ask me how I know this…}

Set up for the 3 lapbooks wasn’t too bad since I printed and cut and assembled after the kids went to bed.  It was quiet alone time for Mama.

Older kids could surely help cutting out the pieces! Other supplies are brads, staples, and of course, glue sticks for putting the completed pieces in the folders.

Here is Alex’s preschool lapbook all assembled and ready to play!

Here are the 2 Middle Ages lapbooks for the girls, assembled and ready to go. I’m really excited about these.

I got Alex on a really good evening and he completed that whole lapbook in about an hour! He just knocked. it. out. wowsers!

I was impressed that he knew all his colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. And he traced everything for the first time!

I used it as an assessment and I’ll say he did excellently. proud mama moment!

Orange is his favorite color. Can you tell?

Alex loved coloring the shape robot.

And here we have the tongue of concentration.

I read the background material on The Middle Ages to Tori and Kate. And I wrote on the board what they needed to put on their various lap book components.

The girls loved this lapbook to go along with history. We studied castles and knights earlier this year with Tapestry of Grace Year 2.

I decided to use this as an assessment to make sure there were no gaps to that unit we studied. There weren’t many gaps, and the reading was very informative for their level. It was a great review! They begged me to let them do a few pieces each day until all was completed.

That worked out perfectly for our schedule. It took a couple weeks to complete it all that way.

And here are the completed lapbooks…

Tori really enjoyed the drawing and learning about medieval weaponry.

Katie loved learning about armor.

Alex’s lapbook…so proud of his tracing!

Later, I plan to go through and discuss an animal for each letter. We left off that part since he needs to work on his drawing ability. He just turned three TODAY and this lapbook is recommended for 3+.

I especially love the enrichment pages – additional recommended readings, narration forms, and reading logs for further study and extension.

I am very impressed with the organization and effort that go into creating these lapbooks and making my life so easy by having everything printable and laid out so fine for me to assign to my kids and work with them and glue it into place.

I'm not sure at what point or even how to reconcile this and I just feel very alone.

    Great review! I just started homeschooling my 2nd grade son and these lapbooks were recommended to me by a friend. I bought one to try but haven’t yet. I didn’t think about using it for my daughter, who is 3. I think she’d really like the one your son did.
