  10. http://www.setontesting.com/   http://baysideschoolservices.com/   notebooking
    http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/Notebook.html

    Here are some things from my notes:

    As a guideline, she said to notebook one page for each subject, every other week. So at the end of the year, you would have 16 pages per notebook per subject.

    They will be creating their own notebook for learning. Younger children through illustrations and labeling, and older ones through writing.

    Using:
    * Illustrations
    * Artwork
    * Cut & Paste
    * Artifacts & Objects

    It provides a record of learning and promotes retention. It transmits ownership of knowledge. It truly engages the child in learning.

    Add a page to the notebook for:
    * Chapters in a book
    * A short book
    * Audio books
    * Watching a video
    * Field Trip
    * Completing a project

    Supplies:
    * Three ring binder
    * Page protectors
    * Colored Pencils (Prismacolor)

    Here was something else she showed us, making your own notebooking pages in a Word document:

    http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/Maki...ook_pages.html


    Here is her article on notebooking on her web site:

    http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/Notebooking.html   One more thing.... Jennie Fulbright developed a spelling program to assist her son who is dyslexic. She had tried tons of spelling programs and none worked for him. So if this is an issue for you may want to check out her 'Spelling Solutions'. It is basically memorization.

  16.  I offer several free ancient history pages that work well with MOH .
    http://www.notebook ingnook.com/ 11/FreeHistoryBi ble.html

    Calvary Chapel has nice worksheets and coloring pages....
    http://children. calvarychapel. com/site/ curriculum. htm

    These pages were made for those who use Tapestry of Grace but they work great with any
    ancient history.

  17. about www.libraryelf.com? That has saved my bacon more times than I care to admit! LOL It's a free service that will send you e-mail reminders of when your books are due. You have to have an on-line access to the library through your card and you have to give library elf your password, but then they check your library account every day and send out notices to you! Everything that is out on your card is listed in the e-mail along with the dates they are due. You can add other cards to your elf account and it will check them all! It's been a while since I signed up, but I think if you follow the above link, you can look and see if the service is offered for your library, and if it's not, you can request that it be added.   The people who produce "Tapestry of Grace" have put the three weeks of everything they produce online for free. They're offering a complete mini-unit on ancient Egypt, which consists of the first three weeks of "Tapestry of Grace," specially prepared evaluations materials, a comprehensive writing program, customized maps, hands-on lap books, and their unique new "Pop Quiz," which provides audio CDs so dads can come up to speed on what the family is studying each week. Here's a link to the new "Go to Egypt" site: http://www.lampstandbookshelf.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=G2egypt&AFFIL=TOGQUINN If you don't have high-speed internet, they will send it all on a disc, for free. Get the disk here: http://www.lampstandbookshelf.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=G2egyptCD&AFFIL=TOGQUINN   <http://yucky. discovery. com/flash/> To join our other groups for more great forms go to:
