Apologia Elementary Science Notebook contest!

I blogged a couple of months ago in my scheduling plans about the notebooks (samples here) that correspond to the Apologia Elementary Science series. I bought 2 of them to go along with the Astronomy book we're using right now. First off, I need to say though how much we enjoy this science series. The kids love listening, looking at the pictures, and when I do get around to the activities, they have a blast.

When Mr. Blue and Miss Green saw their new notebooks, they immediately grabbed them and ran off with them. They've been working on them independently without prompting from me to catch up to where we are in the book. They have (copied and pasted from Apologia here)

• A daily schedule for those who like to have a plan or would like their children to complete the book on their own
• Templates for written narrations, the notebooking activities and experiments
• Review Questions
• Scripture Copywork, with both print and cursive practice
• Reading lists and additional activities, projects, experiments for each lesson
• An appendix with beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books
• Field Trip Sheets to keep a record field trips
• A Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or in writing to show off all they remember and know at the end of the course.

I'm looking forward to getting the next notebooks in the series, especially Botany (samples here) which we're starting next. Now, for the fun stuff!
