Homeschool Lapbook- unit study (Giant Panda/China)

Welcome, join me and my four youngest as we share our two month study of Giant Panda's and China...

Our Lapbook cover...follow us along the study

We picked up this huge box top/poster board at Sam's for free. We will fill it in with Panda/China facts

Can you find The Great Wall of China?

Testing along the path of learning

This is the cover of a coloring book of Chinese animals we learned about

These flip open to give more facts...mini books are fun learning!

These flip over one more time...but you'll have to use your imagination...as I didn't get a picture

Silkworms-discovered by the Chinese! We acted out the production of silk...we even wrapped one kid and pretended that we were unraveling them to gather our silk! Yup, learning is fun!
