Yes, I've done that and it has worked for a while. I think my problem has been sticking to something long enough to see its usefulness. With so many options sometimes it's overwhelming. That's why I need to go back to my purposes or goals for the record keeping before I decide on one or two ways to do it. Thanks for the suggestion. Elisa Waingort Calgary, Canada When I was in elementary, this was my favorite way: I buy a box of mailing labels. Run them through the printer so that each child's name is on them. You can print whatever you want on them. I make my notes on them as I conference with the kids, then stick them on a sheet in a binder with the kids' names on them. I used a notebook once, but it got heavy and fell apart. Once their sticker was used, they were done for that round. You can buy big ones or small ones. I used the 3" long ones. I learned to keep my comments to the point.
I didn't do as much conferencing this year with the change to middle school with it's short periods and thousands of children (ok...I exaggerate), but I'd like to go back to that. It makes grading easier, or talking to parents, or sped. teachers. You just take the page and everything's right in front of you. I have had parents take copies of it to go over at home as well. Kim
