Hi Sheri!
Hope all is well with you. What a great unit you've put together. The kids have been asking to do the ocean for awhile, so we'll use a lot of your unit when we study it this summer. Thanks! :)
Blessings,
Shannon
Love the fish That is a cool idea
So how many pages of notebooking did you do on this one? I read somewhere on your blog that you usually do two, but this looked like more. Just wondering how you fit it all in the scrapbook. We just started our first unit study/notebook but we are doing a page per thing we study.
Blessings,
Shannon
Shannon, I still only used 2 pages of the scrapbook itself, but I added page extensions to each page, making it much larger. (To do that I cut the paper so it was 10X8.5 and glued down about a 2 inch section, creating a flap that would open up) I'll try to get a tutorial up on it this week.
