How to Start

This Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day lapbook covers lessons 1-13. Each lesson uses one colored file folder for a total of 13 folders needed to complete this lapbook. Gather your folders and fold them so that they will be ready to use as you get to each lesson. Directions for folding are included on a following page.

At the top of each mini-booklet page are directions concerning the construction of your mini-booklet, pages to read from the Fulbright book (highlighted in bold text), and what your student will record in the mini-booklet after reading to show what is learned. A small key is also here to show you where to glue each mini-booklet into the folders.

When the first two folders are filled up with the mini-booklets, follow the directions for using duct tape and a three-ring binder to make a storage system. Do this for all of your folders as they are completed by the student.

In the back you will an answer key, additional reading suggestions for each lesson, and enrichment pages.

Folding a Lapbook Base

Gather the number of folders required for the project. Fold them flat as seen here.

Original fold line

For each folder, fold the left and right sides inward toward the original line to create two flaps. Crease so that the highest part of each flap is touching the original line. It is important not to let the two flaps overlap. You may want to take a ruler and run it down each crease to make it sharper.

Highest part of flap.

GLUE

GLUE

Glue your folders together by putting glue (or you may staple) on the inside of the flaps. Then press the newly glued flaps together with your hands until they get a good strong hold to each other. Follow this step to add as many folders as you need for your project. Most of our lapbooks have either 2 or 3 folders.

Close the lapbook. Measure a piece of duct tape that is as long as the lapbook. Place the edge of the duct tape on the top edge of the lapbook. Then fold the duct tape over so that it can be placed on the bottom edge. Make sure to leave enough duct tape sticking out from the edges to punch three holes. Be careful when punching the holes that you do not punch the holes in the folder. If you do, that’s okay. Then place in three-ring binder. Depending on the size of your three-ring binder, you can store many lapbooks in it.
