France and Madeline

Today is our second day of rowing Madeline. Today we focused on Paris and France.

We worked on a couple of mini books and fold outs that we found on home school share. The first one was a tour of France and came with pictures of different structures that the artist had included in Madeline. Reagan had a bunch of fun trying to find the different pictures. I had also checked out a book from the library on France and we would also look up the pictures in there and get a whole different view. There were several night time pictures with the structure all lit up.
We then colored the flag of France and she had to write the continent that France is located in and then pick France out in a picture of that continent.
Her favorite activity was the Madeline doll cut-outs. She thought they were so cute and we had fun putting them in two rows of six. We then used them to do some adding and subtracting. We will be using these all week for math and any other activity we can use them for.

  1. Ah fellow rower-I love Maddie. Very cute mini books too. I love HSS. If you do not have a ton of them, putting them in the Lapinder might be a better fit than the traditional lapbook-I have a pic of it on my scrap and lapbook blog...I am working on it for science and will do it for other mini-studies without the worry of trying to get a full lapbook done. Anyhoo-oh, A New Coat for Anna lapbook is on there but not sure if it is in the same FIAR book as Madeline? I created it, but it is a lot of stuff-definitely needs its own LB...I am hoping to come up with another FIAR lapbook this summer when things settle a bit-3 names is one I am considering but not sure if it is already done? Have to check that out. Well, thought I would pass that info on....love the background, as you know (I think I mentioned that in the Blogger assignment) very nice! Have a great one!
