There's not much to share. I make copies of some of the pages that are mentioned in the F&P version (like the book list, the books I want to read, what I learned from the writing piece) and the kids glue them into th notebooks. I don't do a table of contents & page numbers. It's just too much work and the kids waste too much time being concerned with numbers. I also have them decorate the covers of their writing notebook. THey enjoy it tremendously.
