Our Notebooks!

My Sunday project was making our 2007-2008 notebooks for school.
This is what I use. The GBC CombBind C75.
I purchased this last year for around $100.00 including accessories.
I use this instead of folders, spirals, and/or workbooks.
 
 
1) Lay out supplies.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
2) I print out  Handwriting Paper  with a Blank Top #2.
3) Punch the paper through the binder.
4) Make and print a cover sheet.
5) Print and place labels on dividers.
(I use five dividers, for each notebook. We do a different History on each day of the week.)
 
6) Place all together and bind with comb.
I added a laminated map. The front and back have a clear, protective, plastic cover.
"Ta Da!"          THE FINISHED NOTEBOOK!
And more notebooks!    
Everything gets doubled...two kids!
I won't tell you how many hours I spent on this!
But...I'm done...
 and my kids have beautiful custom made notebooks, that will be saved like scrapbooks.
Ready for Monday!

What do you mean by you do a different history on each day of the week?

last year some of my children went to public school for the first (and probably only) time. I got to do some volunteer work there and fell "in love" with their comb-binding machine. Its been on my wish list ever since!!!!

Where can I find a machine like that? I just spent about ten dollars this week at Office Max to have them put the spirals on the books I made for them. I love the idea of saving them as a keepsake.

What history do you cover on each day of the week?

I love the notebook idea! I bought a comb binder just so my kids could make their own books. Plus, it's much cheaper to print your own activity pages than to bu a $10 workbook. Mine love word finds, mazes, dot-to-dots but despise some of the other things... and I hate wasting pages!

I was just looking at your school closet again (in archives) and was wishing you lived closer so you could help me organize my shelves!!! I am usually an organized person, but moving to a smaller house has been a challenge to that bent. Where do I start?

Teaching the Trivium

How can you give your children the tools they need to teach themselves? Long ago students were first taught how to learn. Today, students are taught an encyclopedia of subjects – trivia – but they are not taught the basic skills of learning: to discover, to reason, and to apply.
