You can't beat a deal of 17 cents per notebook. I bought the max of 30 notebooks for students who had trouble obtaining supplies. This was the best price that I saw all summer for this type of notebook. I let my students know about the great price so that they could take advantage of the great savings. While I would have preferred a little bigger notebook this deal was too good to pass up. Students are using these as interactive notebooks. They seem to be working well. We will see how well they hold up.
I use these notebooks to record my thoughts in and appreciate having them on sale when school is about to start. I usually fill one page a day and sometimes more so a notebook lasts me for a few months. I date the covers and go back and reread them the next year to see what was on my mind and if I am still struggling with the same issues or have solved any of my problems. It is good to see themes of concern running through them and often they will inspire me to write a personal story about the issues.
