I haven’t gotten to review this book yet, but have enjoyed getting to know the author through publishing lists we’re on together and Facebook. Being Biblically based (and published by Apologia) and CM methods it should be a good fit for those using L.E.D. In our Resource & Recommendations Online Catalog on our Creation: Design-Space page ~ Me
Exploring Creation with Astronomy
AND the NEW – Astronomy Junior Notebooking Journal
A journey through space that you’ll never forget. Your child will learn more about space than other children their age, and will be able to hold their own in conversations with knowledgeable adults.
One of my favorite things about this book is the conversational style in which it is written. It reads more like a mutual discussion about astronomy, rather than a science textbook. Very in-depth information is conveyed, but with words and expressions to which a child can relate. This doesn’t mean it is dumbed down, for the course itself has enough information to qualify for a high school astronomy course.
Another thing I love about Exploring Creation with Astronomy is that each child essentially makes his own astronomy book utilizing notebooking activities and assignments. These assignments are designed to replace workbooks, which do not draw from the child’s heart and mind what was learned. Creating a notebook page truly draws the most out of the child. There is a saying, “Tell me, and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.” Notebooking is the act of involving the child in his learning.

I am somewhat new to Notebook making. As a student, I tended to do something similar naturally. As I prepare for the new school year, I am researching how to effective use notebooks, especially with young students.
We’d like to start

We have done notebooking for history and science. The kids enjoy looking back at what they’ve done after the year is over.

1)Yes, we do! 🙂 The kids have notebooks they hand write in and I am now blogging. 🙂
2,3,4,5… done.
We tried a little bit of notebooking, but it didn’t go well. I’m waiting until they are a little older to try again.
I am so happy to get on with this approach. I’m just beginng and looking forward to notebooking.

My boys enjoy notebooking, although one prefers lapbooking
We do use notebooking in our homeschooling and LOVE it. It’s like a more experienced lapbooking! So much fun!

Love the idea of personal notebooking, did a little last year but hope to expand more and more each year. What a great way to look back and see what you’ve learned about!!
newsletter, love getting it and all the new ideas/articles, etc.
Invited friends.
Thanks to all who commented!
Although we haven’t used any of this series yet, I love that they are written in a conversational style AND that they utilize Notebooking. We believe Notebooking is the key to real learning, and agree with Jeannie that Notebooking draws from the child’s heart and mind. It makes the study his own.
And the winner is —
Julia!
Congratulations! I’ll be emailing you.
