the working notebook

the working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. it holds all the papers and information needed to each day. any three-ring binder can serve as a working notebook, they nylon zippered type tends to last longer you working notebook should contain:

  • a portable three-holoe punch 
  • a zippered pouch with three holes so hold highlighters,pencils,pens,clips, "sticky-notes" and other small supplies
  • a small montly calendar
  • a ruler 
  • section dividers for each subject labeled homewrok, notes, handouts, and quizzes/tests
  • an assingment book
these items are available at most office supply stores in a three-hole punched format so they can be easily inserted into the notebook. this is important, because if the items are not attached to the notebook, they will get lost in backpacks or left at home school.

one working notebook for all of your child's classes might be too large for some students, especially if they are in high school. two medium-size notebooks with two or three subjects in each is an alternative to one large notebook. morning classes might be placed in one, and afternoon classes might be placed in another.
whichever alternative noted above that you choose, the important thing is that on a daily basis, you should date, three hole punch and file any of his school papers under the appropiate divider for each subject. you should also note assingments in detail in his assingment book.
