Still not sure what a lapbook is or how to incorporate one into your classroom?! You can check out my blog post here to read more.
Other Suggestions:
• Instead of creating a lapbook, include the 10-themed foldables into your Interactive Notebook!
• Coloring these pages does take some time. I suggest asking students to color them for homework and/or having them color during free time.
Your students can specialize the folder any way they want, which makes it more special and individualized. This is great because no two INB lapbooks have to be the same!
