ProudGrandma Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I just came across the concept of "notebooking"....not lapbooking, but notebooking. I know basically nothing about it, but I am very interested in knowing more. If you use this teaching tool, will you please tell me everything you can about it...how you do your notebooks, what age level this works well with, what subjects, how do I start...etc. thank you very much in advance for helping me out. this is where I found out about them: History Crafts for Kids (hope the link works) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 We did. We still have the history notebooks we made in 1st,2nd and 4th. We got the idea from WTM grammar-stage history. Dd even notebooked at public school. They did lots of foldables and attached them to a composition-style notebook. They also just wrote on the pages. I was impressed.

QuirkyKidAcademy Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 What little I know about notebooking, I learned from The Notebooking Fairy. DS despised lapbooking - much too tedious for him. I'm going to implement notebooking this fall, in hopes that it will help his retention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsH Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 We've been doing it for science. Since we use BFSU there is no textbook. I loved the idea of having dd19 create her own reference book, and she generally likes working on the pages. I tell her it has to include the title, and then what details (such as specific terms, things to explain, pictures/graphs). She makes a draft, we check it over and fix errors, then she makes a final copy. Sometimes she does the work from memory, other times she uses a reference books or the notes I used for the lesson. For history we weren't quite so consistent or intentional about it, but we did stick everything we did into a notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudGrandma Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 thank you for the responses. Is this something that is not widely done? We have done lapbooks in the past and I thought maybe this woujld be a natural next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Seems to be pretty widely done to me--but maybe some people don't call it that, or do it a different way. Even in public school when I was young, we'd keep notes in a notebook. Now folks get a little fancier, but it's been done for years and years.
