[quote=Anonymous]My kids (twins) are in 6th grade and they still like to do these things. At first glance, it seems like a dumb assignment, but I agree with most of the posters who said it helps them take care and ownership of their notebook if they spent time customizing it. My kids are in private school, although they went to public for many years, but their technology teacher had them recreate their school schedule as an assignment in a Word document using the "tools" function with columns and finding school related graphics or clip art to decorate the calendar. I thought it was so stupid at first and thought it was a waste of time since they already had a printed schedule. Then, I realized it was for the purpose of them practicing their technology skills and being creative. So, I agree it is an exercise that has a purpose and hopefully will pay off with the kids taking care of their notebooks. We live at Michaels...[/quote]
