I homeschool because I have seen the village and I don't want it raising my children.

Homeschooling, working from home and loving it!

P31

vs10 - When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls.

vs25 - She is clothed with strength and dignity and anticipates the future with gladness free from anxiety.

vs30 - Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

What is a Lapbook?

Lapbooks are a great hands-on tool to reinforce and review lessons. Basically, you take an average file folder, re-fold it, add a multitude of information in various folded books (called minit books), and you've got a lapbook.
This is a case of "a picture is worth a thousand words" -- you may want to look at examples. It's important to remember that you don't need to lapbook every lesson you complete within a unit. Don't discount the power of a simple conversational lesson with your student.
