Upcycled books

 

Has this ever happened to you?  You are ready at the copier and plan to print 20 copies of a specific paper but, oops, slip of the finger, moment of distraction and a zero gets add.  Before you realize it, you've printed 200 copies.  Before you toss the extras in the recycle bin, try making student journals!  Simply fold the papers in half so the printed side is inside and the blank side is outside.  Staple 3-5 pages into a small book.  Repeat and Viola!  A class set of journals ready for whatever learning the kiddos want to create.
I also have a group of parent volunteers who, want to help but can't come into school (especially during the COVID era).  They do all kinds of sorting, cutting and organizing and are more than willing make these! 
A piece of no longer needed bulletin board boarder adds a bit of flair.

Taping the bottom edge of the pages allows pages to be used as pockets.

Two types of upcycled journals or student books.
