+ Fables & Myths Lapbook:

This week we began our ongoing lapbook for Literature study. (If you are unfamiliar with lapbooks, check out this link.) It combines Aesop's fables with myths from ancient cultures, including Egypt, Greece & Rome. Currently, I am still working on compiling all the elements/ booklets we used in ours', but for now, I will just list what we worked on each week. I make most of mine using the free type-it-in templates found at Homeschool Share.
