Cross-Themed Notebooking Pages
One of our favorite times of year as a family is fall.
The heat of summer is over, the mosquitoes aren’t biting any longer, and the beauty and smells remind us of hot chocolate, warm fires, and read-alouds in the evenings.
We love fall in our home!
As a family, we don’t celebrate Halloween. Instead, we celebrate an even greater event that also happened on October 31 – The Reformation.
This Multi-Grade Reformation Day Unit Study includes literature, math, writing, geography, cooking, music, and more that will help make October 31 fun and memorable for a reason other than Halloween.

I’ll admit, when we began homeschooling in 2019, I felt like I was all thumbs and left feet.
I still feel like I’m all thumbs and left-footed a lot of days.
But that’s slowly changing.
In December of that year, we made a move to bring our oldest son home with us for homeschool, and that was the start of our massive homeschool overhaul that I can’t wait to blog about later.

It felt so different, embarking on homeschooling a child who already had 2 1/2 years of school behind him.
I felt intimidated and lost.
But through prayer and listening to the advice of friends, I decided that two things had to be central to learning in our home:
- Reading – we would read. A lot
- Writing – we would write. A lot
One of the greatest tools I’m finding helpful to help my MERLD children build reading and listening comprehension is notebooking.
What I’ve Learned About Notebooking
At first, it seemed like Greek to me – but then I began to see how my children retained information better when they wrote it.
Also, I found that notebooking is much easier when you understand the steps and building blocks for notebooking.
A great resource for me has been Danika Cooley from Thinking Kids
In her articles about notebooking, she encourages moms to read short paragraphs and dictate short sentences to beginner notebookers.
From there, you help stretch them in notebooking by keeping notebooking just slightly above their ability.
Also, she encourages a lot of drawing as a healthy and creative notebooking process.
