Lapbooking by Heidi St. John (Guest speaker)
Got kids? Have you ever seen a lapbook? Maybe you've seen one, and admired it but wondered how people "find the time" to fit that into their school day?

Heidi will show you how to make one from start to finish and share the benefits and basics of lapbooking as well as a few tricks for more "seasoned" lapbookers.

YOU REALLY CAN turn any subject into a fun and rewarding unit study using lapbooks! Whether you are looking for an alternative to workbooks, or you just need a healthy dose of homeschool encouragement, this workshop is for you.
Heidi will teach you this wonderful skill using the "show'n tell" approach, and she will have plenty of examples for you to look at and resources to take home.
