Poetry in Beyond...

In Beyond, what are you having the kids write their poetry in?

Thanks,

My ds chose a three-ring binder at the beginning of the school year. I added dividers for the different subjects, including poetry. He writes the poem on standard lined paper and puts it in a page protector. It then goes in the poetry section of the binder. Everything is in page protectors and nicely organized. All his work is in one place and will be a nice portfolio of his first grade year. That's just what I do. I hope you get some more ideas.

I will have a young 5 1/2 year old, so I was wondering what to do for her. She is still going to be working on her handwriting, so i was going to move on to A Reason For Handwriting A for that. I didn't know if some of you were using some sort of handwriting notebooks. :?

If you felt that the copy work would be too much, you could always photocopy the poem and have her copy one or two lines in a primary handwriting pad and let her decorate the photocopy. As her handwriting improves, she could copy more lines.
