There is no correct or incorrect way when it comes to notebooking. Each notebook is an “only one of its kind”. Each child will glean their own knowledge and see things differently from another which makes their notebooks “their own” creation. Their notebook will reflect their own individuality.
NO subject is restricted when it comes to notebooking.
It takes time and planning when first starting out in notebooking. Once you get started and have a routine you will find that it will take no time to prepare for your subjects.
I like to start with what curriculum I will be using IF any. Purchasing textbooks or other educational material is not always essential to teach your children properly.
A course of study is valuable. Mapping this out will help keep you focused on your overall objectives of what you want to get accomplished.
We need to grow accustomed to thinking “outside the box”. There is no reason why we have to cover every subject every day. We need to envision doing things differently. Become inventive with your schedule (unless you have legal restrictions).
A schedule will help you put your course of study into a realistic layout so that you can make the utmost use of your time, energy, and materials.
Below is a link of planning pages I made that may help you get organized with subject material.
