The working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. It holds all the papers and information needed each day. Any three-ring binder can serve as a working notebook; the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. Your working notebook should contain:
A portable three-hole punch
A zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlighters, pencils, pens, clips, "sticky notes", and other small supplies
A monthly calender
A ruler
Section dividers for each subject labeled homework, notes, handouts, and quizzes/tests
An assignment 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 or 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 appropriate divider for each subjects. You should also note assignments in detail in his assignment book/
