I have recently gotten re-interested in notebooking for the kids' schoolwork. We are going to do notebooks for history/geography and science. I showed the kids several websites I had bookmarked last week with lots of ideas, templates and clipart. I am very excited to get started!

Dd has been working on a notebook for the past several weeks for history. I had her start pages for each of the three colonial regions. She started her work on 12x12 pages, so we will continue with that size for her book, but ds will do 8 1/2x11 pages. Both books will have plenty of flap books, mini books and shape books, making sure to make the best use of our page space.

The biggest reason I started this undertaking is to have some nice, colorful keepsakes of the learning we are doing. I would like to have something to look back on to see not only what we learned, but to see how much the kids grow over the years. I will have to discipline myself to take lots of pictures, though.
