WRITTEN NARRATIONS
We buy 50 cent sewn composition books and label them by subject. All written narrations go inside these. If one fills up, we start another. No need to start a new one each year unless the book is filled. Entries are dated. We add labels to the page edges, inserting the name of the school book being narrated into the tab. We had such a hodge-podge of notebooks with my first two children, but now that we use only bound composition books, the shelves are neater and everything is much easier to find.
Some examples include:
History
Natural Science
Literature
Math- the math composition books have graph paper inside rather than lined.
Music
Art
Health
Logic
World views
Bible
Quote Book (commonplace)
Century Books
TYPED NARRATIONS
We print them out and put all of them from yrs 7-12 in order by date into one medium size binder that doesn’t have holes but a mechanism that presses the sheets down to hold them in place. As new ones are completed, we add them to it.
APOLOGIA SCIENCE
needs a thick notebook, so we use a spiral 5 subject notebook for each year.

NATURE JOURNALS
continue but the children are serious watercolor artists by this age, so they rip their own paper and bind their own journals.Sketches are in a portfolio from a craft store.

That’s it. This is all we do.
“Keep it Simple.”
That’s my motto.
