Homeschoolshare - this is the place for FREE lapbooks

As an educator in an alternative program for students who have learning deficits, I am always on the lookout for educational learning tools. A couple of years ago I came across some homeschooling sites that helped me create a hands-on learning approach for my students. Many of students thrive at this educational tool.  One of the sites that offer free lapbook (a creative way to learn material through a file folder and graphic organizers) is www.homeschoolshare.com.  I have found many unique topics here. The age range is from toddlers to upper elementary (I use a variety of these for high school students also, since quite a few have the learning ability of a 4th or 5th grader). Also if you join their site they will send periodic emails to you with great free lapbooks. 

      

Recently, I received a write on to create my own templates. This e-book will save me time. Normally I type a heading, print it off, glue it on the template and make photo copies of it. This new e-book is great, all I do is find the template I need and type on it. 

If you are an educator in a school or you are teaching your children at home, I would suggest you look over this site and see what you think.

Currclick - Homeschool site with great deals

Whether you homeschool or an educator or a parent looking for fresh ideas - Currclick! is the place to go. This site has a wide variety of e-books, free e-books, free clubs, live clubs, lapbooks, unit studies. 

 

A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon Currclick while looking for something different to teach my students. Lapbooks were an intriguing supplement that I grasped and jumped in with both feet. I am still using lapbooks in my alternative classroom to help students learn through a hands-on approach to all subjects. 

I know you are asking what is a lapbook? It's a variety of mini-graphic organizers placed within a file folder after they have been filled in with the correct corresponding information.

Currently my middle school students are learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. I bought the butterfly lapbook from Currclick.

I supplement it with other mini-graphic organizers from Homeschoolshare.

One thing I like about Currclick, is that they keep track of what you have bought. So over time, if something looks good and you click on it, you can see if you have bought it or not. Sometimes I forget if I have the ebook or not - then I can download it again if needed.

I highly recommend this site to anyone - take a look and see for yourself and tell me in the comments what you think of the site.
