Notebooking Idea – I’m finding that we like to use the smaller size notebooks instead of using the regular size notebooks (as long as our subject matter allows). I believe the dimensions are 5-1/2 x 8 (around there anyway). You can find page protectors for that size. I try to recycle paper or use half sheets (slice in half standard 8-1/2 x 11 paper) whenever possible. My child likes to draw small pictures and it also helps to cut down on waste. I think they’re nicer for smaller hands to hold too.
