Kung Fu Panda Lapbook

Since my kids loved the movie “Kung Fu Panda” so much, we decided to do a lapbook on pandas.  I got some free materials from www.homeschoolshare.com and www.kungfupanda.com (I can’t find the printables there anymore).  There was also some information on Pandas (and China) in the January Bookbag from Currclick.  I love the Teacher Bookbag products!

We checked out the San Diego Zoo website for some great pictures and stories of the pandas there.  They also have a Panda Cam, but we haven’t seen anything interesting yet.

Of course, there’s also the sneezing baby panda on YouTube!

My 3 oldest kids also wrote about pandas (using the notebooking pages found in the January Bookbag.)  The 5 yo did copywork.  The 6 yo is writing a story about a panda named Popsicle.  And the 8 yo is writing a summary of the movie.

Here are the books we read:
Watch Me Grow: Panda (Star)
Little Panda (Ryder)
Giant Pandas (Fink Martin)
Giant Panda (Penny)
Giant Pandas (Gibbons)
A Baby Panda is Born (Ostby)

Each of my kids had their own file folder for this lapbook.  We divided up the lapbook booklets, color sheets, and printouts and then connected all folders together into one big lapbook.

The plaid folder is by my 6 yo son.
