Island of the Blue Dolphins Lapbook

We are currently reading Island of the Blue Dolphins while using a unit study from Learning Adventures, A New World of Adventure.

I hope you enjoy putting this lapbook together as much as we are. If you think of another mini-book that you'd like to see added please let me know by leaving a comment. I'll post pictures of our completed lapbooks as soon as we are finished.

I just found another Free Island of the Blue Dolphins Lapbook. I'll be using a few of these mini-books in our lapbook as well. I love finding free resources!
