3 Things to Know Hamburger Fold-Fold horizontally Hotdog Fold-Fold vertically Folds-Labeled with a small line to show where the fold is and the words hamburger fold or hotdog fold. Dotted Lines-These are the cutting lines, and sometimes the fold lines. Cover Labels-Most of the booklets that are folded look nicer with a label on top instead of just a blank space. They will be labeled covered page or cover label. How Long Does it Take to Complete the Lapbook? Doing a text reading and mini-booklet a day, a 2-folder lapbook takes about one month to complete. However, you can expand on the topic in the text reading and make it last as long as you like! So where do the mini-booklets go? A shape coded and labeled KEY is included. This key shows you where all of the mini-booklets go in each folder. Keep this page handy! You ll also see at the top of the mini-booklet pages another graphic that shows once again where to place the booklet in each folder. So there are TWO ways to see where to place the booklet. We made it easy!! You won t get lost. How To Use the Book with the Mini-Booklets At the beginning of each mini-booklet template page, you will see the directions for cutting and assembling the template. Within these directions, you will find which part of the book to read. After reading the selected text, cut out, assemble and glue in the mini-booklet that goes with it. Then fill out the mini-booklet with the correct answers. The answers will be found in the selected text. Lapbook Assembly Choices Choice #1 -Do not glue your folders together until you have completely finished all three folders. It is easier to work with one folder instead of two or three glued together. You can keep the waiting folders in your binder that we will be mentioning later. Choice #2 -Glue all of your folders together before beginning. Some children like to see the entire project as it is being done. Plus, it helps with keeping up with which folder you are supposed to be working in. The choices are completely up to you and your child!

4 How to fold and connect the folders for your lapbook. 1. Gather the number of folders required for your particular lapbook 4. Fold the left hand side over just to the crease but not overlapping it. Your folder now has two flaps. We like to run a ruler down each fold to make the fold neater and flatter. Do steps 3 and 4 to the remaining folders. 2. Open up each folder and flatten it out. 5. Take two of the folders and apply a generous amount of glue to their flaps. 3. Take the right side and fold it all the way over until the tab is just before the middle crease in the folder. Do not overlap this crease with the tab. 6. Bring the flaps together and press so they stick together. 7. Do steps 5 and 6 to your remaining folders (if any). 8. We provide the patterns for all the minibooklets. Just cut out, construct and glue them into your lapbook. Refer to the color-coded placement page or the actual mini-booklet page for placement of each mini-booklet.

10 Chapter 1 How to Train a Foal Some people begin training horses when they are two years old. Others start right away, soon after the foal is born. Since Andi s horse Taffy was worked with right from the start, let s see what Chad and Andi have to do to train Taffy! Newborn: Let the foal get used to you, sniff you, and learn that you are a friend. Sit in the corner and watch. Rub the foal all over. If he is unhappy about certain places, continue rubbing and talking softly. If the mare (mother horse) trusts you, this works really well! A few days old: Spend all your time with the foal. Watch him. Hold him while he naps. Teach him right away who is the boss. Teach him to stop when you say so. You can do this by putting an arm around his chest and the other arm around his rump. Talk softly and hold on tight until he stands still. Then pat him and let go. One week old: Put a halter on your foal for 15 minutes at a time. Two weeks old: Teach the foal to lead with a halter and lead rope. Use his mama, since the foal will follow her. Say walk on. Never have a tug-of-war with your foal! Use a rope around his rump to make him go forward instead. As soon as he obeys, pat him and let him go. Teach the foal to stand tied up. Always talk softly. Brush and groom your foal every day. One & two months old: Teach the foal the word no. Be firm but gentle. Give him a sharp whack on the rump, if necessary, to teach him good manners. You can ride his mama, and the foal can come along. Following his mother will help the foal learn about creeks and anything scary. If his mama is not afraid, neither will he be. Five or six months old: Wean your foal away from his mother. One year old: Teach your colt walk, stop, and trot on command. Start lunging the colt (the colt goes around a big circle in the corral with a long line). Two years old: Train your colt to be ridden or driven with reins. A day-old foal is skinny!

12 Chapter 2 Dime Novels There were no movies, TV, or Internet in 1874, when Andi lived. Most people lived simple lives, working hard at their jobs. They stayed home the rest of the time. No one had much time to play. So, when a man named Mr. Beadle thought up the idea of dime novels, a lot of people bought them. The books told exciting stories about Indians, pirates, gold-seekers, and stagecoach robbers. Dime novels talked about strange, faraway places no one had ever heard of before. Best of all, they cost only ten cents! The stories were mostly made up, and that s what people liked. They could pretend they were having an adventure. Many people liked to read dime novels. President Abraham Lincoln liked them too! So many people wanted to read the stories that thousands of dime novels were published. But teachers and some parents did not like them. They did not think children should read made-up stories. They thought the books put pictures into children s heads that should not be there. Andi found out that she should be careful what she sees and hears. WOW! Only 10 cents each!

14 Chapter 4 A Cowboy s Life The men who worked for Andi's brothers on the Circle C ranch were called cowhands, ranch hands, or cowboys. Cowboy comes from the Spanish word vaquero (vaca means cow ). Cowboys did just about everything on the ranch. They took care of the horses and cattle (cows). They made sure the cattle had lots of good grazing land and fresh water. They branded the new calves with the ranch s brand mark. That way nobody could steal them. A brand mark is made with a hot iron pressed into the calf s rump. The Circle C brand looks like this (a circle with a C inside): Cowboys also fixed fences and cleaned out stalls. They went on roundups (to round the cattle up to brand them or sell them). They worked hard for very little money. In 1874, cowboys earned about $25 a month. A cowboy s main tools for work were his horse (the most important tool), a rope, and his good sense. He wore sturdy denim pants, chaps (worn over pants for extra protection), a shirt, a vest with pockets, boots, a hat, spurs, and a rain slicker for bad weather. He hardly ever carried a gun. Cowboys lived on the ranch in the bunkhouse, which is a large building. They slept on bunk beds in one big room. Cowboys ate in the cookhouse, which was run by a ranch cook (just like Cook in Indian Summer). The rancher s family ate in the house, away from the hired hands. The ranch cook was the boss of the cowboys meals. If anyone complained about the food, that cowboy was in for a bad surprise the next meal. He might get hard biscuits or something else that made the cowboy a little more grateful for the cooking. During a long trail drive (herding the cattle to a new place), the ranch cook came along. He cooked in the chuck wagon. A chuck wagon is like a little cookhouse on wheels. Sometimes a young boy (like Riley) worked for the cook. He fetched firewood and did anything else the cook told him to do.

18 Chapter 6 Creeks A creek is a body of water that runs between two stretches of land. These two sides are called the creek banks. A creek can also be called a stream or a brook. Creeks are very important. They are part of the earth s water cycle. Most of the water in creeks comes from snow and rain up in the mountains. A creek begins as a tiny spring from underground or as run-off from the snow. As the creek runs through the land, other creeks join it. Then more. Soon the creek is part of a big river! The river keeps going and finally runs into the ocean. The water in the ocean is sucked up into the clouds (evaporation). The clouds move over the land and dump rain and snow on the mountains. Then the whole water cycle begins again. A creek makes a good home for many different kinds of animals big and small. Insects, like water bugs, skate on top of a slow-moving pool in the creek. Dragonflies zip over creeks and eat mosquitoes. Even soft, slimy worms called leeches live on the bottom of creeks, in the thick mud. Many different kinds of fish live in the creek too. Trout, salmon, minnows, and suckers are common fish found in creeks. Amphibians like salamanders and frogs can also be found swimming around in the shallow pools. Reptiles like turtles like living near creeks, and some snakes even swim in creeks! Mammals like muskrats, mink, beavers, and otters can be seen living in or near a creek s banks. Beavers build their dams on creeks. Deer, elk, fox, and bobcats drink at creeks too. And people love creeks! They like to fish in the creek, catch frogs, and splash! Thank you, God for making creeks!

22 Frogs Chapter 6 What is a frog? A frog is an animal that lives in the water or close to the water. Frogs have smooth and moist skin. They must keep their skin wet. And their skin comes in different colors! There are over 5,000 different kinds of frogs. That s a lot of frogs! Frogs are found all over the world, except in really cold places like Antarctica and Greenland. Frogs have long, strong, back legs and a short body. They have webbed fingers (or toes), large, bulging eyes, and no tail. They swim in the water and hop around on land. A frog lay its eggs in the water, like in a pond or lake. When the eggs hatch, baby tadpoles are born. They live in the water and breathe with gills (like a fish) until they grow and change into frogs. Then they live on land and breathe with lungs. Frogs find bugs, worms, and slugs really yummy! Toads Sometimes we see a toad and call it a frog. They do look alike! But in some ways they are very different. Toads have brown skin that is dry and bumpy. They are usually heavier than a frog too. Their legs are shorter than a frog s, so they do not hop as fast as a frog. But both animals do jump well. Toads live on dry land instead of around water. They like mud and deep grass. Their brown color helps hide them from an enemy who might want to eat them. Toads like to eat bugs and worms, just like frogs. Have you ever used your voice to holler at a friend? A toad does too. Male toads use a deep sound to attract a girl frog. Sometimes a sack under his throat swells really big when he is using his deep voice. Some people say that toads will give you warts. But that is not true. Of course, always wash your hands after picking up a toad, but don t worry about getting warts!

25 Chapters 8-10 GEOGRAPHY: The Yokut Indians lived in central California. The Valley Yokuts lived down in the valley. The Foothill Yokuts lived up in the foothills. Andi and Riley met the Foothills Yokuts. The valley was full of marshes and lakes. The foothills had many oak trees. THE PEOPLE: Yokut means people. They were a friendly and peaceful people. They were tall and strong, with straight, black hair and brown skin. The Yokuts were seed-gatherers. They did no farming. There was plenty of food for everyone. During the 1800s, the white people killed so many of them that they had to hide in the foothills to stay alive. The Yokut Indians California FOOD: Riley and Andi ate many good things when they stayed with the Yokut people. Andi liked the acorn mush. The Yokuts ate other things besides acorns like deer, elk, rabbit, and fish. They also ate nuts, berries, and all kinds of seeds. But the acorn was the Yokuts most important food. The women and children gathered the acorns from oak trees. But they could not just crack an acorn open and eat it. Acorns have a bitter taste in them called tannic acid. It must be washed away. The Yokuts crushed the acorns up and ran water over them to get rid of the bitter taste.

26 Chapters 8-10 The Yokut Indians (continued) HOUSES: The Yokuts made several different kinds of houses. Some were pole houses. These could hold ten families! Sometimes an entire village lived in one communal home! Other houses were for single families. The Yokuts in the valley could use a marsh grass called tule for the roofs and sides of their homes. Mud was beaten into the tule to make thick sides. The Yokuts had to bend low to enter their homes. As time passed, more grass would grow on the mud and the house blended into the rest of the area. When a Yokut came out of his home, it looked like he was coming up out of the ground! GAMES: The Yokut liked to play games. Most games helped them become better hunters. They also learned how to have self-control by playing games. They used rocks, leaves, bark, seeds, shells, and pine cones for games. They like to play guessing games. Children liked to play Shinny. They used a ball about the size of a tennis ball. It was made of a burl (bark sticking out) of an oak tree. The players would start half-way between two goals. Then with clubs, they tried to hit the ball to their own goal (a little like hockey). This was a very rough game! CLOTHES: The Yokut Indians wore very simple clothing. In the summer, the little children wore no clothing. The women and girls wore simple skirts made out of deerskin or grass. Sometimes they wove beads into their skirts. The men wore clothes from deerskin too, and tied it around their waists with a cord. Both men and women wore bands around their heads to keep their hair out of their faces. In the winter, the Yokuts wore fur robes around their shoulders. They needed no shoes, because the Valley grass was as soft as a carpet. In very cold winter weather, they wrapped their feet in deer or rabbit skins.

31 Chapter 9 The Baskets of the Yokuts The Yokut Indians made beautiful baskets. They came in all shapes and sizes. The women wove interesting designs in the baskets. Usually the designs were a pattern that looked like an animal. The design they liked to weave most was of a rattlesnake! They also wove designs of quails (a bird), wild geese, trees, the sun, moon, and stars. The Yokuts made their baskets from grasses called tule reeds. These reeds grew near the rivers. The women chose only the very best reeds to make their baskets with. They even colored them. They liked using black, white, tan, and red. The Yokuts made baskets for many different things. They made baby cradles. They made baskets for games. They made baskets for gathering food and for cooking too. They wove the reeds so tightly that the baskets could hold water. They did not put the baskets over the fire, however. Instead, they filled the basket with water (or acorn mush), then dropped hot stones into the basket. The hot stones heated the water or mush up. The Yokuts were so good at weaving, they even made boats and rafts from the tule reeds that grew all around!
