For our desert study, we read and studied 2 books - Roxaboxen (Arizona) and The Gullywasher (Mexico). Along with these books, we studied desert animals. In order to save on pictures, I am posting only Alex's lapbook of Roxaboxen, and Nicolas's of The Gullywasher.
The Gila Monster is the largest lizard.
Information about the scorpion (the second scariest mini book).
About the Saguaro cactus - very interesting plant! Makes us want to visit the desert.
Alex's roxaboxen design, if he could build his own.
This is one of our smaller lapbooks. There was much more I wanted to cover, but we only had 3 days of school for the week (Thursday I had hand surgery, so Thurs and Fri were difficult for me to help them.) We still have fun and learned some about Mexico.
What is a gully?
What is a mesa and where can you find one?
Since Nicolas writes slower than Alex, Nicolas started this copywork during Roxaboxen and finished during The Gullywasher. Alex did the following copywork for Gullywasher:
