Notebooking: Animals, Sharks

My kids love animals so we are Notebooking: Animals, Sharks.  I love to turn their curiosity into learning opportunities.  This week we stopped notebooking thru Europe to do a little notebooking on sharks. I thought it would be great to start a new notebook this year just for animals!

Of course Notebooking Fairy offers a fantastic “animals” notebooking page – it is by far my favorite! (by the way – did you know she featured me in her notebooking round up? giggle snort — my first time being “featured” there!)

I love this page because I am real quick to print out National Geo Kids info, read it, 3-hole punch it — yet the boy never shares what he thinks is cool nor does he touch a pencil.  This page offers plenty of space for him to write out what he found interesting (not always what I find interesting) along with the facts we read earlier together.

Enchanted Learning offers anatomy pages, but my hands on learner likes a volunteer from the shark family!

Throw in a sketch, a short story, and a word hunt for a fun little Notebooking: Animals, Sharks!  Oh yes – for the free SHARK word hunt head over to my friend Marci’s place, The Homeschool Scientist to see how you can incorporate your beach vacation into learning opportunities!

Do you have a notebook for animals? Have you done Notebooking: Animals, Sharks? What do you include?
