Amanda Bennett is well-known
for her groundbreaking unit studies that are popular
with homeschool families around the world. How did this
new product line come about? Amanda explains:
“Over the years, so many moms
have emailed, called, and asked me in person about coming
up with lapbooks for my studies. So many patiently
explained lapbooks to me, brought their children's lapbooks
for me to see at conferences across the country, and
kept a fire under me about how helpful and fun lapbooks
can be for learning with unit studies.
Being an engineer by degree, I tend
to be a bit of a geek—all lines, numbers,
outlines, and structure. While being able to design
a bridge or space rocket, I did not learn much about
creating colorful learning elements with our children.
However, I have learned so much while home educating
our own kids, and I know that hands-on learning is the
best kind. Lapbooks were definitely something to add
to a unit study!
When the opportunity came to work with
the DNG team to create a brand new kind of product where
the elements of unit study learning were merged with
the hands-on learning and fun of creating lapbooks,
I knew that this was the right direction and jumped
at the chance.”
Homeschoolers
everywhere will be glad she did!
