Guest Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Do you cut the binding off of your work/text books and separate the pages or do you just hand your child the entire book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I give them the entire workbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinsfamily Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I give them the entire workbook. Me too. It's been fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I give them the entire workbook. :iagree: Those workbooks are so nice and small and portable - I can't imagine what purpose it would serve to separate the pages, other than making them really easy to lose somewhere in the house.

Spy Car Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Same. Entire workbook. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Entire workbook. I'm seeing a trend. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The entire bound books. May I ask why do you want to separate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Okey dokey! General consensus rules! The entire bound books. May I ask why do you want to separate them? I cut the binding off of his Singapore Earlybird book this last year and it's been great to just hand him a sheet to do. I haven't received my 1A in the mail yet, but I know sometimes workbooks are hard to deal with - hard to stay open. It doesn't seem to be an issue, though, so I'll just leave 'em on. Thanks!

AudreyTN Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Whole workbook. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I wish we would have cut apart the books for 6A/B. There were some geometry problems that were really hard to do well because the book didn't lie flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It costs about $4 for a nice spiral to be put on. If you're passing them down... might be worth it:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I took the binding off the EP and CWP because I photocopy those and will use them down the line, the main workbooks I use whole. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessaMae Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 we have used 2B-3B with my 10 year old daughter. She hasn't had any trouble with the whole workbook :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimitBreak Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I give him the entire book but use chip clips to keep the pages from closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Whole workbook. The kids have a (hand) shredding party after a workbook is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I cut the binding off of the workbook and got it spiral bound. It's easier that way to write in it. I don't do anything to the textbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I kept the binding intact, but my DS has complained several times that it's hard to write the numbers when the answer goes close to the binding. I had to keep pressing down on the spine for him while he wrote his answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'm considering cutting the workbook apart for 1A because my DD already knows how to add/subtract, but I think she's doing so based on two strategies-counting and rote memory. I want her to slow down a bit, do one strategy at a time so she knows them, and therefore I don't want her working ahead or skipping three lessons up because she likes the cute pictures. Next question-and this sounds silly, but are the kids SUPPOSED to write in the textbook for 1A/1B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Next question-and this sounds silly, but are the kids SUPPOSED to write in the textbook for 1A/1B? Not silly! It does kind of look similar to the workbook doesn't it? That's up to you. I don't have mine write in it because we go over it orally. (He does enough writing in other subjects for a first grader.) If I were using them with an older child, I might have them write in it if it were quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 We did not cut the bindings off the Singapore books. My son has requested that any workbook larger than that be put in a binder or be spiral bound. We did not write in the text as I would sell those after using.

Snickerdoodle Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The kids have a (hand) shredding party after a workbook is finished. See, this could work very well for us. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
