Oklahoma History Notebooks

Here are some samples of a few of the things we included in our Oklahoma History notebooks. It really is a source of pride for them. When they know it is going in their book and not just getting stuck in a drawer, they seem to work harder at doing their best. It also allows them to see at a glance what all they have learned, and it is like a scrapbook of all of the fun memories we made doing Oklahoma history.




We sketched all of the state symbols and wrote what we learned about each.We painted headdresses and wrote what we learned about them.

We took photos of larger projects to put in the book. Anything that can't go on a page gets photographed for the notebook. We also made a teepee, a fort and a covered wagon that were photographed.

All reports and papers also go in.
We put in photos of our activities along with a description of the photos.

We did a ton of Oklahoma field trips. For each field trip we take, we fill out a form about the day and glue on a photo.

We write down all of the recipes that we try.
