Lapbooking is extremely popular among homeschoolers. It is a great way to teach and a fun way to learn, but sometimes they can be limiting if you are doing a continuous study. I have found that interactive notebooks work better for me in that situation. Basically an interactive notebook is a binder or notebook (themebook or composition book) that you fill with mini books like a lapbook. Each two page spread is on a slightly different subject. For example, if you were spending a year studying geology, one 2- page spread may be on volcanoes, the next 2 pages might be on rocks, the next two may be on earthquakes and so forth. One interactive notebook that I am doing this year with my 2nd grader is on The Magic Tree House. Each 2 page spread, we are doing a different book. This is so much easier to handle than 28 different lapbooks!
