Operation: English Grammar Lapbook

What a wonderful grammar resource Mahayla now has! At the beginning of the school year, I decided Operation: English Grammar from In the Hands of a Child would be a weekly addition to Mahayla’s grammar studies. She completed one-two lapbook activities per week, and now that it’s finished, has a super “mini-office” full of grammar helps and reminders.

(You can see more about mini-offices here, here, and here.)

Here’s a look at our first-ever mini offices. Mahayla made her own. I made Caleb’s. He is very excited about these, which was quite a shocker to me. I expected Mahayla to be the excited one as she loves this sort of thing.

I wrote a post earlier with links to pictures and print-offs for mini offices. I found just about everything I copied from those sites.

Mahayla’s Language Arts Office includes lots of writing helps and editing reminders, and a parts of speech chart.

Her Math Office includes – oops, a cursive chart! – a multiplication table, measurement equivalencies and conversions, a Roman Numerals chart, a place value chart, a reminder of radius vs. diameter, word problem key words, and a US map (because we didn’t know where else to put it.)

Caleb’s Reading Office includes sound reminders for all letters and many blends, a phonics rules charts, manuscript and cursive charts, an editing checklist, a punctuation chart and some tips for writing good paragraphs.

His Math Office includes a 100 chart, a coin chart, an ordinal numbers chart, perimeter vs. area reminders, a skip counting chart, spellings of the days of the week and months of the year, and that pesky US map.
