I'm Shelly Rees of Appletastic Learning. First and foremost, I'm a mom of 4 boys, wife of 25 years to Aric, and Wyoming girl at heart. I love being creative, making resources for teachers, baking cookies, Diet Coke, teaching, public speaking, and spreading kindness wherever I can. After teaching in the upper elementary grades for over 23 years, I retired early and focused on creating and helping teachers around the world with my teaching ideas and resources. I also serve as a mentor to hundreds of teacherpreneurs and help them get focused on growing their own successful businesses. With 100% honesty, I LOVE my life! Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll stay awhile and come back often. Read More

Very nice information! I thought the same thing about lap books, but I was wrong! Can't wait to make my own!
I will use this for my American Revolution unit. So cool.
Great idea! I’m sure your students will enjoy the project!
I am making one on the state of Hawaii
Awesome! What a great project…hope it goes well!
Great idea! It’s wonderful thankyou????
VERY CREATIVE. I WILL SURELY USE THESE IDEAS.
Iām thinking about how to use as a PBL product for a unit on Early Man. Seems like a fun option!
We have beginning of the year “Summer Book Lunches”. I plan to use this idea for us to review our summer book. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the instructions would love to use it again.
This is very helpful for my class thank you
Under the “Who, What, When, Where” flaps, did you have the students write a few words about the book or questions? The space underneath is very small.
I had them write shorter answers under these flaps. We did not use complete sentences. Thanks for the question!
Have you ever done a tutorial on how to make an exploding box book? Would really be helpful to respond if you’ve done something like this in the past, or if you could do one for me.
Thanks
No, I haven’t, but they do look pretty fun. Thank you!

It really is up to you! That’s the nice thing about lap books….you can set them up however you would like. Thanks!
Thank you for the step-by-step instructions on how to create the Lap Book. I really appreciate it!
