What kind of Notebooks to use for History and Science

[familygirl]

I will be doing Bigger in the fall and was looking thru my schedule and noticed that some of the Science notebooking (unit 4 day 2, drawing and labeling invertebrates) will require a little larger sheet than you'd have in a typical notebook (not sure about History haven't got that far yet). SO I was just wondering if there were any suggestions about what I could use. What are some of you using?
Thanks!!

FamilyGirl,

I'll just move this post over to the main board so more moms will read it. This folder is for Archived older threads about Bigger Hearts.

Blessings,

I plan to use a spiral bound notebook found at art stores or sold by Miller Pads and Paper. My young children (8 &10) thoroughly dislike dealing with 3 hole punching and page protectors.We've done that all year long and I am positive it hasn't encouraged any love for notebooking or recording. I just switched actually this week and the response has really great. My kids are really enjoying notebooking now that they only need to turn the page and start anew. It's fun to cut, paste and color the pages. My opinion is in the younger years this is the way to go. Though I'd love them to have a wonderful history notebook that is all in order, I am going to give that idea up for now. We're just going to put in what we learn regardless if it's not in perfect order. I figure if we really want to, we can always tear them out and put them in a spiral bound binder as a summer project if we're so determined (though I haven't said we are!) I was actually going to ask what others do!

What we used were just colored folders with pages I made up and had copied at Office Max.
I will see if I can find a picture.
It also helped if they had a poor entry, we could just get it out.


You know - I don't want to deal with photobucket, etc... I will find a blog link of mine and link it.

there - that is a link to the blog back in August. I hope you can see what we did for science exploration. I did something similar for science experiements and history I just stuck blank pages in.

We use a comb bound notebook and printed out some freebie papers that we found here (also got my copy work pages here and comb bound a book for that)

For science we have another comb bound book using some of these pages.http://donnayoung.org/science/index.htm

I found it quick and easy to just have these pre made and I never worry about it again. Hope this helps.

We use printer paper, and then slide it into a page protector and place it in a three ring notebook. It keeps it nice, and is fun to look at over the course of the year.
The kids also make a neat cover for their notebooks, and slide that into the front slot... a different notebook for each subject.
