Super excited to utilize this resource. Question: do you provide the notebooks to your students, or, do you ask them to bring in notebooks? I have a LOT of students, so even with super great sales, it will be pricey.

  I know what you mean! The expense of notebooks is one of the reasons I made mine to be used with three-pronged folders (much cheaper than notebooks). There’s a link to a blog post in the download that gives more details on exactly how you can use the notebooks. I hope this helps and thanks for the feedback!

WOW I can’t believe how large this product is. Some of the concepts will be WAY over the heads of my 6th graders, but I am glad I can pick and choose. Thanks!

Technology Tidbits – August 13, 2015

This was an amazing help. Gave me a tool to use as a jump off point with my students. My administrator liked it b/c it was “paper” that proved I was meeting standards. Win Win!

  Awesome! I’m so glad that it helped with your admin. Thanks for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback!
