Grand Canyon part 1
Posted by Coral on October 17, 2008On our way to the Grand Canyon we started our first lapbook ever. Here ‘s our first projects (used “In the Hands of a Child” pack). -
We made the vocabulary pocket and started with some of the first vocabulary words:

Ark opens up and has this inside:
The first place we visited late that Friday afternoon was the Desert View Tower at the easternmost end of the National Park. It was a very windy and cold day but the view was still wonderful. The girls enjoyed climbing to the top of the tower.

Girls and I:
Rain’s a comin’:
When it started to look stormy and the shops were closing we had a race back to the RV, ( the girls won ). We warmed up with some hot coco then ate our Mac & Cheese dinner 
( end of the first day).
