I have written before about the "Book of Time" the children keep as a kind of loose chronology of characters in our history studies.  They really enjoy working on these little books, and I find they help them remember the people we read about.  The only difficulty we had with them was how to keep them together in a way that still allowed us to easily add new pages each week.  Last week, at Making Books with Children, I found the solution: The Stick and Elastic Book!  Perfect!
