Two for the Price of One
I love a good, cheap composition book, but I still don't like buying more of them than I have to. I've seen how some teachers who need more than one per child cut theirs in half, which seems like a creative solution. I've chosen though to use sides ends. With a simple flip, one composition book can be both a math journal and science journal all in one. I'll show you what I mean.
I like your style. At $.50 a book at Walmart, I might just go out and get them. Thanks!

Kimberley, you definitely should!
DeleteGreat idea, Tammy!! I found them for 10 cents a piece at Target once and bought 150 of them. It was a great buy, but I had to find a place to store all of them. Using your idea, they'll last me a long, long time:)

Connie, 150?! Who could blame you for such a great deal though. :)
DeleteThat's cool Tammy!
ReplyDeleteI was at Hubbard yesterday and they decided to use theirs for science too, but they're doing a tab. I think your way would be fun and easy too...
It sure beats wasting money...I love you smart people. :-)
Marie, tabs are definitely a great idea as well!
DeleteSuch a smart idea!

Julie, thank you much!
DeleteGreat way to save money and space inside their desks by only using one journal!

Lori, yep you've got it right!
DeleteCan I do a little whine?? Some of my little guys can't seem to remember to use the next blank page - they skip around all over the place. Any ideas on how to break that habit?

I've never tried this, but I've seen some people hot glue a fabric bookmark to their composition books. That might help?
