Jason's Flapbook, closed & opened.

Jason's government comparison.

The pink matchbook is a "Who am I?" and the yellow quad/triangle fold is his government comparison.

This is an accordion fold of the animals found in the Brazilian rainforest.

Portuguese numbers

Things we get from Brazil's forests.

Comparison of US and Brazilian Government

What we get from Brazil's trees.

The sticker was found at a local scrapbooking store.

Mike is fascinated that Christmas comes to Brazil during their summer, so this is Santa in a swimming suit.  The outside of this matchbook says, "Who am I?"

My folder closed

& opened.

The extensions. 
One opens to the right and one opens to the top.  You will see the tab book (blue/yellow) in a different frame.  You will recognize the tree in all our flapbooks.  We sort of stole that idea from a book we used.  We scanned the pictures we used from that book.

I tried an experiment and failed.  I tried to do an accordion fold for the many rainforest animals we colored.  The major problem is when you open the flapbook, the accordion sprang open and made it impossible to enjoy the book.  That is why the ribbon is holding it closed.  Not sure how to fix that besides not doing an accordion fold.  It sure was fun coloring and learning though!

This is to show how much information can be squeezed into a small matchbook.  This particular one is on the Brazilian flag.  I "stole" the information from the many books we had.

Another look at a matchbook.  This time it was on the food in Brazil.  To put it simply, their food isn't much different than ours.

This matchbook happens to be on the language spoken in Brazil--not Spanish,
PORTUGUESE!!!

I had a government comparison quad/tri fold too.

These pictures are to show how much information can be put on half a sheet of paper in a tab book.  This book is on the three geographic regions of Brazil.  Something not shown is the right side of the page which had numerical numbers for that regions, i.e. rainfall, annual temperature, cultural make-up etc.

My tree!
