Noah





Keep your eyes open because Naaseh Venilmad is soon coming out with the second lap folder in the bible series. This lap folder talks about the biblical portion of Noah, or Genesis 6-11. You'll learn about Noah, the flood and the ark he built under G-d’s instruction to save himself, his family and a male and female specimen of every living creature. You'll see what happens when Noah lands on ground after the flood. You'll learn about some of the commandments that God commanded Noah. You'll also learn about the tower of Babel, the historical event that created diversity in the world. Here is a preview of the lap folder. It also comes with instruction to make an adorable three dimensional Noah’s ark cake.
Have fun!

Names and other such stuff

Some of you might have noticed that on the cover page of my lap folders I used to write Dr. Ilana Ekstein Michelson and now I've started to write Dr. Elana Ekstein Michelson. Well there is a good reason for that. When I was born my parents wrote my name on my birth certificate as Elana Ekstein. But for some reason they didn't like my name spelled with an E. So they taught me to spell it with an I. So all my life I've been spelling it with an I until this past summer I had to do something at social security and they said to me. "On all official documents you need to spell your name with an e because that’s the way it is spelled on your birth certificate. In order not to get confused about where I spell it with an I and where I spell it with an E I decided to spell it with an E all the time. So from now on you'll see it spelled with an E.

Have fun!







The Chanukah lapfolder is selling for $9 at the currclick site and for $8.50 directly from me through paypal.

The pictures I promised you





This is what a finished lap folder on the first 5 chapters of Genesis would look like. You of course can attach the images and decorate the folder as you see fit.
Since I will be making a lap folder on each of the sections of the Bible, you may want to make these lap folders in a notebook style so in the end you would have a notebook on each of the 5 books of Moses. That way it would be easier to leaf back and forth through the chapters to review the material and of course show it off. Anyway you look at it, it is plain learning fun.
Enjoy!
