I’ve watched so many videos on notebooking because I’ve wanted to implement it in out homeschool. I’ve struggled finding practical advice and most videos left me with more questions than i started with (or with the agenda to buy their curriculum/special notebook pages, etc). But your video is so helpful and by far my FAVORITE! Thank you, thank you for taking time to post this!!
Very cool. I like the idea of them telling you what they would want to write and typing it out for them, for them to copy. I think this will be helpful to me because my daughter wants to write but not knowing how to spell slows her down a bit. I’ll give it a try. I’m sure my children will love the coloring/artistic perspective. Thank you for explaining so clearly.
Thank you for sharing this resource. I'm far way from childhood and detested the copious amounts of worksheets used. The end goal became to accurately complete as many worksheets that day. But I was pondering what you said and had some ideas. Worksheets have their place when a topic is new. When new, learners need to master the vocabulary, to accurately label parts of figures and know basic facts....all of which worksheets and even lapbooks are great for but they don't encourage curiosity. That's where journaling is perfect for. When a learner has the vocabulary and basic concepts down about a subject, they have the tools to clearly write journal entries. I don't know about you, but it's in the journalling process that I begin to ponder and ask more questions as my curiosity is piqued. Journaling offers opportunities to discuss and ask, "I wonder" or "what if" questions.
What great keepsakes! Thanks for the information and examples. I tried using a notebook and was frustrated that the pages were have done or we just didn't get around to it. I'm going to give this a try today.
Thank you so much for explaining this. I have heard homeschool moms mention notebooking but didn't know what it meant. Also thanks for showing his work. This looks like so much fun!
What an awesome idea! I love this! I’m new to homeschooling. I am definitely going to look into this and give it a go. Thanks for the great video and sharing your sons work!
Love this! The first year of homeschooling we did only GR plus math and I have so many cute art worksheets (especially from the Oceans unit) and I miss doing them because we now do the GR worksheets orally and skip LA. I will consider doing 1 of these notebooking pages per lesson! We start with transportation in august, so that could be super fun! Not sure how the writing part will go, but I’m always willing to try. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this! I'm contemplating if the teacher guides could be stand-alone with notebooking added as the assignment.. I debated this at the beginning of thia school year too but went another route in the end. We haven't tried any year3, but didn't utilize a lot of the pages in the yr 1 & 2 units we have used in the past- we have mostly younger kiddos, so much of their school time is dedicated to learning to read, etc. I feel like this could be a good strategy to try, where I write for them to copy on their drawing 👌🏽
I am using just the US History teacher’s guide and we are using notebooking instead of the student pages. I feel like that could work with any of the units.
What a cool idea to use this instead of the worksheets that come with the curriculum! I love the concept of this. I'll have to check out Ellen's video that you mentioned.
This is awesome, we already do notebooking a bit like this as I got the idea from having to do it at university and my kids draw and cut their artwork out and stick it on lined paper but we could do other ways. I don’t mind them writing on linked paper and sticking it onto the art page.
Great explanation of this! Have you used any of her unit studies? I'm looking into them for next year, wondering your thoughts as I think we have similar homeschool styles...
We are doing N America next and I just bought the download. I think notebooking would a nice change of pace for this unit instead of the GR notebooks. I’m kinda nervous but I think I want to give this a try!
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife I spent a lot of time last night learning about this and I think I’m really going to do this for this unit and see how it goes! Today I’m going to rewatch your video on this.
I’m so interested in note booking! Do you feel this is appropriate for all grade levels? Just expect more for the older grades? I have an upcoming middle schooler, which I know you already have, but I’m nervous about it😬😩😅
I’m thinking of having my 9th grade daughter do notebooking for her world history book instead of the workbook it came with. Do you this would be helpful ?

How fun. I like how organized you are. Thanks for sharing.

Loved how his notebooking turned out. I also love that you can see a progression! Excellent work! 💕💕
Thanks so much!

I am so glad it was helpful. We really enjoy notebooking.
Thanks for sharing. I'd like to try this with my kids. They love art so this will be right up their alley.
We really enjoyed it. I hope you guys do too.
I'm always on the lookout for new resources. Thank you for sharing. Also, I appreciate that this works for non-art families as well.
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching❤️

Welcome to the homeschooling world! Let me know if you have any questions.
love this so much
Thanks!
Big big fan of notebooking in science and history for my son
We love it.

We did one notebooking page per lesson. It was a struggle the first couple of times, but once he knew what I expected, it went a little smoother.

@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife Good to know! Do you plan to share about that unit in the future?
I will when we are finished. We start it in a couple of weeks.

I love her channel.

I love the idea of cutting out the illustration and putting it on lined paper.

I haven’t, but they look so good.

Give it a try! I think it will work great with North America. You will have to let me know how it goes.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife I spent a lot of time last night learning about this and I think I’m really going to do this for this unit and see how it goes! Today I’m going to rewatch your video on this.
I feel like this is something we could use in our home.
I hope you guys love it.

Notebooking can work for any age. You just need to set the expectations.
Your son did such a good job! Did you guys do the other worksheets for dinosaurs, like for LA?
We did most of the worksheets orally. I did have him do the grammar sheets.
I’m thinking of having my 9th grade daughter do notebooking for her world history book instead of the workbook it came with. Do you this would be helpful ?
Yes, that is exactly what we do.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife great thank you so much.😀
