This is an election year, which is exciting in and of itself! The candidates, the ads (okay, not so much the ads), but the whole process by which the American people pick their next President of The United States is exciting! This year is the first year I can really say I have been glued to the television nightly to keep up with all of it. That's why I was so happy to see that HISTORY Through the Ages Hands-on History Lap-Pak: U.S. Elections from Home School in the Woods was being offered for review during the height of all the preliminary election process!
This U.S. Elections Lap-Pak is just as fabulous as the other products Home School in the Woods has to offer. However, don't think for a minute that this Lap-Pak is a cookie cutter, run of the mill Lap Book, because it is not! With this project your child will cover an array of topics including the different forms of Government, Caucuses & Primaries, the differences between the Parties, and the Electoral College.
This History Lap-Pak is available either by instant PDF download for $18.95 or on CD for $19.95.
We received the PDF download which is accessible through the Adobe reader and includes :
~ instructions/directions
~ Lap-Pak Project Masters
~ Reading Text Pages
There are several supplies you will need to complete this Lap-Pak, but it is mostly stuff you already would have around the house including:
~Paper {colored and white}
~ Cardstock {colored and white}
~ Colored Pencils
~ Scissors
~ Glue sticks
~ Stapler
~ Double-sided tape
~ Paper fastners
~ Exacto knife {for mom to use}

I also plan to have my current 7th grader go through the Lap-Pak come September. Right now, her schedule is jammed packed and adding one more thing to her learning schedule is just not feasible. Now, don’t get me wrong, the LCDR and I stress academics and school over sports any day of the week, but we know this child and she can’t handle any extra right now.
So, that leaves me with one school age daughter left at home, Madison, my current 9th grader. She has already studied American History but has yet to do any in-depth study of Government or Civics. Because I wanted to give her an overview of the election process and brush up on my own knowledge we are witnessing, we worked together on the Lap-Pak.
Once she is done with her Lap-Pak I know it will be a special memento to look back on when she does take the Government/Civics classes in a few years. She will have a better understanding of what is involved to become President of the United States.
If you have hands-on learners, I wholeheartedly recommend you check out this Lap-Pak or anything else that Home School in the Woods offers. They have many great products that we use for hands-on learning along with our regular History curriculum. HISTORY Through the Ages Hands-on History Lap-Pak: U.S. Elections is a fantastic way to bring History to life!
