Science Notebooks

I’ve gotten lots of questions about my science notebooks and the duct tape down the spiral binding…so I thought I would answer the most popular question! 🙂

Putting the duct tape down the side–BEST idea ever!  The notebooks held up so well, most of them look good as new even though we filled up about 3/4 of the pages in the notebooks.  They were also crammed into the kiddos seat sacks each time we were done with them and they still look great!

There were a few pages that came out of some notebooks  here and there, but I think that would happen with any spiral notebook in the hands of a Kindergartener! 🙂

These are my notebooks shortly after I made them and this is pretty much how they looked at the end of the year! 🙂

I know I’ll be using duct tape again this year!

  3. How do you treat the ends of the tape. Do you fold it in or trim it even? I may try this, but wondered if you had any hints on applying the tape? THANKS.
