PA G Doing a text reading and mini-booklet a day, a 2-folder lapbook takes about one month to complete. However, you can expand on the topic in the text reading and make it last as long as you like! E So where do the mini-booklets go? SA M PL A shape coded and labeled KEY is included. This key shows you where all of the mini-booklets go in each folder. Keep this page handy! You’ll also see at the top of the mini-booklet pages another graphic that shows once again where to place the booklet in each folder. So there are TWO ways to see where to place the booklet. We made it easy!! You won’t get lost. How To Use the Book with the Mini-Booklets At the beginning of each mini-booklet template page, you will see the directions for cutting and assembling the template. Within these directions, you will find which part of the book to read. After reading the selected text, cut out, assemble and glue in the mini-booklet that goes with it. Then fill out the mini-booklet with the correct answers. The answers will be found in the selected text. Lapbook Assembly Choices Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together. You can keep the waiting folders in your binder that we will be mentioning later. Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire project as it is being done. Plus, it helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!

She is not trying to be mean. She is pointing out that you are not an animal in a barn. You are a person and should eat like one. E Good table manners are important. They help set us apart from animals. It is said, “if a person can mind their manners at a table, they tend to be more comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.” PA G There is not a certain set of “rules” we must follow for table manners. Instead, there are guidelines that our society uses to keep rude behavior away from the table. Good manners help everyone around you to feel comfortable. People do not feel comfortable if they see you chewing food with your mouth open or if they hear you burping out loud. PL E Here are a few rules to remember when sitting at the dinner table (or breakfast and lunch tables!): SA M ~ Sit up straight in your chair. ~ Do not reach across the table. ~ Do not slurp your drink or soup. ~ Chew with your mouth closed. ~ Say “please” and “thank you.” ~ Ask to be excused before leaving the table. ~ Use your napkin, not your sleeve.

This will make the lesson extra interesting! Ask them to help you with this lesson too. Did you know that a baby chick grows inside of an egg? If a hen sits on a fertilized egg, in 21 days a baby chick will hatch out of the egg (be born). Well, the eggs in your refrigerator do not grow chicks. Instead, we eat the food in the egg that is meant for a chick. There are four special parts of an egg. PA G E Have you ever watched your mom or dad crack open the hard part of the egg so the inside could fall into the pan? The hard part of the egg is called the shell. It is made of calcium, just like our bones. The shell protects the inside of the egg. PL E 1. Feel the egg shell. It feels smooth, doesn’t it? Now, take the magnifying glass and look closely at the egg. You might be able to see lots of tiny holes. There are thousands of these “pores” on the shell. The pores let air into the egg so the growing chick can breathe. SA M 2. Now, crack the egg and let the insides fall into a bowl. Set the bowl aside. Just under the shell, and sticking to it, is the membrane. It is thin like plastic wrap. Try to peel a little of the membrane away from the shell. It’s hard to do! What does the membrane do? It is a filter that keeps bad germs from getting into the egg. 3. Set aside the egg shell and look in the bowl. You will see the inside of the egg. There is a clear part and a yellow part. Touch the clear part and feel how slippery it is. This part of the egg is called the egg white. The chick needs the egg white to grow properly. (Wash your hands after touching the egg.) 4. The round, yellow part of the egg is called the yolk. The yolk is the chick’s food and is full of fat (energy) and vitamins. Look through the magnifying glass and find a tiny white spot on the yolk. This is the exact spot where a chick would begin growing! Imagine a chick growing from something so small! It is Andi’s job to collect the eggs each morning. But in chapter 2, Melinda collects the eggs so Andi can help with Taffy. Collecting eggs and not letting them break is an important job on a farm or ranch.

SA M PL E PA G E Directions: Inside the booklet, write one reason why Andi would put a halter on Taffy. On the booklet cover, color Taffy gold. Leave her mane white or color it cream. Now, draw a halter on Taffy’s head. If you need to see what a halter looks like, go to page 41 in the book and look at the picture of Taffy wearing her halter. Taffy’s Halter Copyright 2011 A Journey Through Learning Chapter 4 Milk: From Cow to Table Milk is a tasty drink that makes your body grow healthy and strong. But have you ever wondered where milk comes from? In the United States, most of the milk we drink comes from cows. PA G E Cows are mammals. Mammals are animals that feed milk to their babies. Can you think of other animals who feed their babies milk? A cow is a female (girl) who has given birth to a calf. Before she gives birth, she is called a heifer. Males (boys) are called bulls or steers. A cow gives birth to her first calf when she is about two years old. As soon as the calf is born, mama cow starts making milk so the calf has something to eat. The milk is produced in her “udder,” which is a large sack that hangs down between her back legs. The calf sucks on the “teats” (nipples) to get the milk. SA M PL E A cow makes a lot more milk than her calf can drink. One cow can produce five gallons of milk in one day! On Andi’s ranch, Cook and Riley milk the two cows. How does Riley milk? He sits on a stool next to the cow and grabs two of the teats with his hands. (The cow’s udder has four teats, so Riley squeezes the milk out of two of them at a time.) He sets a bucket under the cow’s udder and takes careful aim. The milk squirts out of the teats and into the bucket. It takes a lot of practice, and Riley’s hands get tired after milking one cow. In 1874, some boys milked four or five cows every morning and every night! Can you imagine how long it would take to milk hundreds of cows by hand? Today, farmers use a milking machine. After cleaning the udder, the machine is attached to each teat, and a pump sucks out the milk, just like a calf sucking. Clean tubes take the milk from the cow to big cooling tanks, to keep it cold. To make milk, cows need a lot of care and good food. Today, most of the milk we buy at the store comes from large dairy farms. What do you think a cow does all day? She eats. A lot. She eats grass, hay, and grain, and she drinks gallons and gallons of water (which the cow’s udder turns into milk). Big trucks take the milk to a place where it is put into cartons. Some of the milk is made into other yummy foods like cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and ice cream! Drinking milk and eating dairy products is a part of a healthy diet. To grow up healthy and strong you need to eat 2 to 3 serving of dairy products each day. Copyright 2011 A Journey Through Learning Chapter 4 Folder 1 Read Chapter 4, and the “Milk: From Cow to Table” study guide. Cut out the milk can and glue it into the lapbook. Riley and Cook milk the cows two times every day: morning and night. SA M PL E PA G Foods Made from Milk E Directions: Not only do we drink milk, we also use it to make other foods. List some foods that are made from milk. Copyright 2011 A Journey Through Learning Chapter 5 Weaning a Foal E When it is time to take a foal away from his mother, it is called “weaning.” In the wild, the mother (the mare) usually weans her baby herself when she is ready to give birth to a new foal. But on the Circle C ranch (and most other places in 1874), weaning was done by taking the foal away once and for all. Cowboys and ranchers did not spend a lot of time wondering if this was good for the mare or the foal. It was just the way it was. It is still done that way today by many horse people. PL E PA G Neither the foal nor the mare enjoys this part of life. The baby whinnies a lot. He runs and gets sweaty, trying to find his mother. Then he might catch a chill and get sick. Sometimes he tries to break through a fence and can injure himself. He doesn’t eat. He is restless and very unhappy, and probably scared. Horses are herd animals and do not like to be by themselves. It is easy to see why Snowflake jumped over the fence to be with her baby. Neither horse understood why they could not be together. SA M The one good thing about all of this is that once the foal is weaned (and does not want to nurse any longer), the mare and her foal can be together again. So it has a happy ending. There are other ways to wean a foal that are easier on the mother and baby. Today, some horsemen use “gentle” weaning. They put the mare and the foal in separate pens but right next to each other. They can see each other, but the foal is not able to nurse because the railing is in the way. It is still an unhappy time, but not as scary for the baby as being taken away from his mother so abruptly.

SA M PL E PA G E Snowflake & Taffy Weaning a Foal Copyright 2011 A Journey Through Learning Chapter 6 Grandfather Clocks “Grandfather clock.” What a funny name for a clock! The real name of these tall clocks is “floor clock.” They are very tall, usually from six- to eight feet tall. That means the clock could almost touch the ceiling in some homes today. But in the 1800s, ceilings were much higher, so a grandfather clock did not look all that tall. PA G E A grandfather clock has to be tall, because it must hold the heavy weights and the long, swinging “arm,” or “pendulum” that make the clock work. The face of the clock sits at the top. The weights and the “pendulum” hang down inside the tall wooden case. The weights move the pendulum, which makes the pendulum swing back and forth: tick . . . tock . . . tick . . . tock, which moves the hands of the clock. Sometimes the weights and the pendulum are behind a glass door so you can see the action. PL E Many grandfather clocks are “striking” clocks, which means they make a bonging or chiming sound every hour. A weight inside the clock makes the clock strike. SA M Grandfather clocks must be wound either every day or every eight days (depending on the clock). To wind a grandfather clock, someone has to pull the chains that are attached to the heavy weights. Once the weights are raised to the top, the clock begins to run down again. Can you tell time on a Grandfather clock? It is not like today’s digital clocks. You have to know how to read the “hands” of a clock.

Bullies always like to be the boss. They like to fight. 2. Bullies are usually stronger than their friends. 3. Bullies have a bad temper and are impatient with others. G E 4. Bullies are good at talking their way out of trouble and putting the blame on others. PA 5. Bullies always have to win. 6. Bullies do not show kindness to others. They talk mean. 7. Bullies like to break the rules and show off about it. E 8. Bullies are not sorry when they do wrong. SA M PL Back in the 1800s, teachers and other adults usually let children work out their own problems. This often meant that the bully took over and ruled the schoolyard. It was only when the other children had enough of it that they stood up to the bully. Andi stood up to Johnny. She pulled his hair. But that could have backfired, and she could have been hurt. Always tell an adult if you think a bully is picking on you. The Bible tells us how God wants us to treat others. On the next two pages, there are some Bible verses to read together and talk about how you should behave toward your friends and even those who are not your friends. Perhaps you can choose a verse to memorize and hide in your heart. Copyright 2011 A Journey Through Learning Chapter 8 Folder 2 Bullies SA M PL E PA G E Read Chapter 8, and the “Bullies” study guide.

Why is this important? The brand shows everyone who the cattle and horses belong to. It is like a license plate on a car. If a horse or cow is stolen, the sheriff can find it by looking for the brand mark. The brand for the Circle C ranch is a circle with a “C” inside. The C stands for their last name: Carter. PA G E Each ranch has its own special brand mark. No one else is allowed to copy it. The brand is made out of iron and placed on the end of a long, iron rod. The brand is then heated in an open fire out on the range, until the branding iron turns red-hot. It is then pressed onto the animal’s rump. It smells bad, but it does not really hurt the animal. Their hides are very tough! Branding is usually done in the spring, when the new calves are born. The rancher brands again in the fall, for any summer or fall calves he might have missed. R S B SA M PL E Once the animal is branded, the brand is there for good. Each rancher can make up his own brand design, as long as it is not being used by another rancher. The brands are recorded in an official book as belonging to a certain rancher.
