My notebooks came damage. The notebooks are bended and ripped. And they're very expensive.

Hi I was so happy to see them on sale for $2.00. Each year I always buy these for my class. I like the way that I am able to show the students parent how their hand writing look at begining of the year. And how their writing look at the end of the year. This is such a great deal.

Primary Notebooks
I bought enough for my entire kindergarten class. It is perfect to help them to learn to write and the black space at the top is great for drawing pictures!

Primary writing journal.
