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.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?
