I was wondering what seems to work better in Bigger for the Notebooking and Science......the 3 ring binder with plastic page protectors, or a bound sketchbook with unlined pages. And is there a reason why you prefer one over the other? I am just trying to pull everything together. Thanks!

I'm doing Bigger for the first time this year, but I'm going to use hole punched card stock and a notebook. That way I don't have the hassle of pages, but if my perfectionist daughter wants to start a page over she won't be upset about having to tear one out. She's funny that way

We used the 3 ring binder with page protectors and just regular printer paper and they worked great for us. And, yes, that way if they mess up and wish to redo, they do not have to tear out of the notebook. I was thinking too to transfer the pages to a cheaper binder (like the ones the office supply stores put on sale during back to school season) or even just a metal ring to keep them together before storing them away. That way we can continue to use their history and science binders for next year. Just a frugal idea

We use a 3 ring binder with page protectors and I made my own paper with lines on the top and blank bottom by going online and finding a handwriting site. I don't even remember where I copied the lines from, but there are plenty of sites.

Thanks! It's nice to know what works for others!!!
