Ocean Unit Study Lapbook Covers

Normally, I don’t share the lapbook covers and decorative clip art pieces for the lapbooks so early in our unit study.  But today I am sharing the ocean unit study lapbook cover choices because excitement has set in around here.

FINALLY, after months and months (and did I say months, okay, about 8 months) of decluttering and selling just about all of my stuff like a wild woman on Craigs List (I might have to share my pro tips one day), our house was officially listed this morning.  And tomorrow, we have our first showing!  I am beside myself.  I am trying to be laid back about all of it because I am over the top tickled if we sell it in a few months.

We were ready to list our house a few weeks ago, but we had to interview realtors.  Then, because some of the last big pieces of furniture sold quickly, it left our house a bit bare.  Along with the realtor, we decided we better bring in a company for “staging”.

Of course there is no way with my family size that I could ever have just that few pieces of things to sit on, but again this is just for “staging”.

So we had more strange people in our house and she brought in totes of accessories, because I sold just about all mine.

 

 

Oh well, I just wanted to show you a few of the final pictures which have made me so completely exhausted but exhilarated feeling over the last few months.

Because I am not sure how fast our house will sell, I want to share my printables with you sooner even if we aren’t ready for them yet in our unit study.

I went ahead and took a picture to show you what I mean when I call the downloads, decorative pieces.  Though you can use them anywhere, even in notebooking, I normally create them size wise to fit on the outside file folder of the lapbook cover.   I have some new followers here that are new to the method to my madness, so a picture helps.

Too, like I do for most of my lapbooks, I try to give your child a few choices in covers.  The cover above is for the kid that is not interested in coloring right now.

I have a few of them too sometimes. Though this time Tiny decided he wanted to color something.

So with the donations I get for the lapbooks, I buy clip art for the unit study and share the coloring pages with you.

I purchased this picture of carp for some general coloring when studying about geography and rivers.

When Tiny saw it, that was what he wanted to color and he did.  It sparked a huge debate around here because Tiny had his mind set on coloring it for this unit study.

After I questioned him about whether carp are found in the ocean or not, it ignited a huge flurry of research, which I loved of course.

That is the part of learning that I enjoy about unit studies.  Sometimes the best parts of learning a unit study is the part you stumble upon.

You can download the pages below and yes, including the carp. It is a valuable piece of information he learned about what carp need to survive.

Hopefully things don’t move too fast over here in selling my house, but then again I’m ready!
