So, here is the plan: I will give away four each of the Botany and Astronomy Notebooking Journals to bloggers who post information about the Notebooking Journals and the contest (You can pick which one you want if you are a winner).
This is a great way to get the word out that this new product exists while giving you an opportunity to win one! I will use random.org to choose the winners. So, here are the rules:
1. Post a blurb about the Notebooking Journals (I'll create one you can use, or you can write your own).
2. Include a link to the samples on the Apologia website.
3. Mention this contest and what it entails (with a link to my blog).
4. Send me an email with your blog address.
I will compile the emails in the order they are received and allow Random.org to choose which #'s win the Notebooking Journals. If you have more than one blog, you could win more than one!
Here is a blurb about the journals you can use or edit for your own use:
Apologia is now producing notebooking journals that accompany each of the elementary science books. Both Botany and Astronomy are now available. You can see samples on the Apologia website here:
These journals are beautiful spiral bound notebooks that will save you time and money. You won't have to print and keep up with your child's notebook pages, buy and maintain page protectors, or purchase and compile binders...everything that makes notebooking time-consuming and labor intensive for mom. Also, your child will adore having their own notebooking journal.
Each of the notebooking journals include:
- A daily schedule for those who like to have a plan or would like their children to complete the book on their own
- Templates for written narrations, the notebooking activities and experiments
- Review Questions
- Scripture Copywork, with both print and cursive practice
- Reading lists and additional activities, projects, experiments for each lesson
- An appendix with beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books
- Field Trip Sheets to keep a record field trips
- A Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or in writing to show off all they remember and know at the end of the course.
See the sample pages here:
Botany: https://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=128
and
Astronomy: https://apologia.securesites.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=127
Jeannie is giving away four Astronomy Notebooking Journals and four Botany Notebooking Journals to bloggers who post about this on their site. Visit her blog to learn more about this contest: www.jeanniesjournal.com
The contest ends on in one week on May 29th! That way I'll have the weekend to send them before I go to the Illinois conference.
So blog away!

I just did it! Hope I did it all right (sent you an email too).
Thanks for the chance!
I did it too! I am going to send it to my homeschool friends through our Yahoo group too!
Thanks Jeannie!
I posted about your contest on my blog at http://frugalhomeschoolingmomof3.blogspot.com/2009/05/win-free-astronomy-or-botany-notebook.html and at www.loveschooling3athome.blogspot.com. I sent you an email from the link at the bottom of your blog (ethansharo@aol.com)
I posted about it on my blog as well and sent you an e-mail too. Thanks for the giveaway. The journals are beautiful as we have purchased the Astronomy one already. Super excited to be using it this next year.
Hooray!! I posted about it. My family just recently finished Astronomy and we are looking forward to starting Botany in the fall. Thanks for making Science books that are so God honoring.
OK - I did it! http://robinsaylor.blogspot.com/
Thanks so much for adding more to an already amazing curriculum.

Yes. The Anatomy one will be out with the Anatomy book - if all goes as planned.
I created a note on my facebook account about it.

I just posted this as well on my blog. What a great addition this would be to our studies.
Bummer...I would have loved to win as we have all of your science books and love them! We are planning on working through Astronomy next school year. Unfortunatley, I don't blog or have face book,etc. I live in an area where dial-up is my only option and my computer time is very limited. I do tell other homeschooling families all about your great books ~ but word of mouth is my only means of advertisement. Hopefully, you'll have a contest again some day that we can participate in. Thank you for all of your wonderful books!

((subliminal message: pick me, pick me, pick me....)
Is there going to be notebooking journals for the zoology series? I love the idea of the journals, we would definately have used it last year for the Astronomy course, which we loved by the way.
We will be starting Zoology 1 in the fall, it looks wonderful too.

Off Topic (sorry) but is your Human Body science book coming out this summer? We have done all your other science books and I'm really hoping your next one comes out soon.
Can you post about it-just as an update...and where we can buy it, if it is indeed coming out.
THANKS SO MUCH.
Kelly
I'm not a winner, but I didn't see the winners posted because you put it in the comments instead of in its own post. I hadn't subscribed to the comments, so I only saw you posted the winners when my feed reader brought up your new post today. That said, if you contacted them on their own blogs, then they should have responded. I just ordered 2 notebooks yesterday but went ahead and ordered from ChristianBook dot com since I was also ordering other items. I can't wait for them to arrive.
I love reading books about astronomy, I think it will be the science that changes the world.
