Apologia Textbook: Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day
Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day Notebooking Journal

Usually I copy and create notebook pages to supplement our science but this year, knowing our schedule-I ended up purchasing the notebook that is specifically designed to complement the textbook. It has been a God send! I mean it. I have found that I am no longer spending huge amounts of time searching for material or creating go-along pages/activities, and I don't need to come up with lapbook components either! Granted, some of the activities we have skipped (which is quite alright in my opinion) but for the most part has been a seamless way to further implant the lessons into the Boy's head.
Some page examples:
lapbook: flip book activity
The lapbook components (included in back of notebook to pull out to create as needed) are very colorful and nicely done. Talk about saving cash on printing! Whew.
Anyhoo-we're truly enjoying this so far and I am super happy I bought the notebook to go along with the next text we'll be doing (Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day). I also greatly appreciate the little schedule that comes in the notebook. It really helps me stay focused and keeps me accountable-which is always a good thing. Not sure if you have tried these, but if you are debating them-like I did for a time-I strongly suggest giving them a try. :)
Now I did not receive a thing for my opinion here-notta. I bought these puppies and just wanted to share a good thing to my readers. But hey-Apologia, if you are reading this, I would love to write a review for another of your science notebooks/text after we're done with the Swimming Creatures one...cough, cough. :)
