FIAR-Madeline

I signed up a few months ago to do an activity and file folder Five In A Row Swap. As with most swaps, they always sound great, but I always wait until the last minute to complete 10 bags.

I chose the book Madeline, by Ludwig Bemelmams.

Below are the activities that I made for our swap.  I know it will be a big help receiving nine other book activities to use during the year.

Trace the Eiffel Tower for younger kids.

I would love to hear what you've been rowing.

What we have rowed -FIAR

FIAR or Five In A Row is a literature based homeschool program by Jane Lambert, that we've been using for the past year.  This is how it works...you read the same book for a week and base your math, geography, science, history, and scripture off of that book. We enjoy making lapbooks to coordinate with what we are learning, plus Olive enjoys showing them off when family comes to visit.

Here are some books we have rowed with our FIAR co-op.
