Dinosaurs, They walk among us! Latest Lapbook!

Dinosaur Lapbook!

Dinosaurs, So many questions about them so few answers. One thing on my 6 year old sons mind is- Did they really exist? We decided upon a Dinosaur Lapbook to help come to a conclusion with much help from the Free Templates and Mini books at Home School Share. A ton of helpful information but also from the Huge Freebie Dinosaurs Lapbook at Live and Learn. Here are the photos and lapbook, he learned alot and so did I. Most interesting to him was the size and the word Coprolite- Oh yes look it up!

I found a bag full of Dinosaurs at the Thrift Store and we were set to recreate History! (maybe, because, you see, my Einstein is still not totally convinced)

Thrift Store Find!!

This is a beautiful vintage ( 80's radio) I found at a local thrift store. Its pink! What comes to mind? Cindi Lauper? Roxanne, Roxanne? Darryl and Oates(?) ? I know one of them did:} it works great and was only $1.15! (1/2 off coupon) Obviously no one but me would appreciate a find like this because I saw it at the store not once but twice (the first times I had on my logical thinking cap- the you don't really need this one) and the third time I grabbed it and never looked back! Now I'm on the hunt for more tapes to help me create in my studio what Louie Armstrong, (check), Ink Spots, (check), Rudy Vallee and his Gentleman Songsters (check)! Hey if you create with vintage emphemera, its only right to submerge yourself totally down to the checkered knickers and specs!;)
