A few years ago, I learned about Apologia. But just starting homeschooling I didn't want to have too much things to go. I concentrated on the basic which were writing, reading and mathematics. This year, I was able to get a copy of the Fifth Day of Creation - Flying Creatures. Myself and the kids just started it this week and I sense we will learn a lot from this book. I love bird watching and I am trying to teach my kids about birds. This is so well done that it is a bonus for us.
Anyhow, for those of you who know Apologia and the quality of their products, here's a great news...
Apologia is now producing notebooking journals that accompany each of the elementary science books. Both Botany and Astronomy are now available. You can see samples on the Apologia website here:
These journals are beautiful spiral bound notebooks that will save you time and money. You won't have to print and keep up with your child's notebook pages, buy and maintain page protectors, or purchase and compile binders...everything that makes notebooking time-consuming and labor intensive for mom. Also, your child will adore having their own notebooking journal.
Each of the notebooking journals include:
A daily schedule for those who like to have a plan or would like their children to complete the book on their own
Templates for written narrations, the notebooking activities and experiments
Review Questions
Scripture Copywork, with both print and cursive practice
Reading lists and additional activities, projects, experiments for each lesson
An appendix with beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books
Field Trip Sheets to keep a record field trips
A Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or in writing to show off all they remember and know at the end of the course.
