What did we think?
I love hands-on curriculum.  I am not in love with lapbooking or notebooking in practice but the concept gets me giddy.  Hence, I was hesitant about this curriculum for fear I would start strong and never finish.  Yet, I was pleased by the engaging lessons which were just the right length even for a short attention span notebooker as myself.  Since my 6 year old daughter loves notebooking and my 2 year old loves pasting it was a wonderful way to keep my younger children engaged while teaching my 5th and 7th grader.  The activities were fun, informative and well laid out.  It is rare to find a curriculum that truly fits on a multiple age level so this is a treasure indeed.  Since I must admit I get a bit tired of cutting, I delegated that responsibility to my oldest.  She enjoys the “teacher’s aide” type of work and prepping lessons.  Finding this method to be beneficial to everyone one involved, I use it quite a bit.  So, I especially loved that this curriculum served the whole family.  My 7th grader benefited more from “teaching” than being the student.  However, keep in mind that is not because the material is too young for her as much as we have studied the subject matter before.  Yet, I think it is a great idea to have the older teach the younger.  In conclusion, this curriculum and the format served our family well.  I would recommend it to any family with multiple ages or a child who enjoys notebooking.  Another plus is the low cost!
