Love these books when they are on sale for 50 cents each during the summer sales. I stock up to use them in my class for my students for writer's workshop or cgi/math workshop books. They are great b/c they last all year with the hard bound covers and tight seaming. They are a nice size too. If they made one in 8.5 x 11 I'd buy those b/c then I could also paste copy paper sheets right on to the pages for math lessons. We usually decorate the covers to personalize them. Thanks for the sale prices teachers would be able to afford these nice books without them.
These notebooks are great for interactive notebooks for my students. I am glad that the pages are securely placed in the binding and they look like they will hold up all year. The students can be hard on notebooks and I'm hoping that they last. I expect a certain quality from Staples and I am almost certain that these won't disappoint. I am using two different sets of notebooks this year and the colors contrast nicely with these standard black ones. I am sure that I will have the students decorate them to make them a little more personal.
I love these books because my students used these for their science lessons to recorded what they learned for the experiments. for writing both free writes and specific essays. I am a retired teacher when t
