10 Lap Book Projects, including pop-ups, layered books, etc.
And a final "Colonial Spree" to bring the unit to a close!
The CD includes each lesson's text pages, project overview pages, and a wide
variety of masters for projects! Photos and drawings help illustrate the
directions for completing the 50 activities. You can pick and choose projects
for your family and the schedule allows for "project days."
Also included are teacher helps, resource lists, teacher
keys, and a "guide-at-a-glance" that allows the teacher to see the whole
schedule of upcoming topics and projects on one page. You can print out a
notebook cover to slip into the clear cover of your separately purchased 3-ring
binder. The art is provided both in color and in black and white for the student
to color in.
