Do you think its actually cheaper to print yourself? The math workbook was around $22-25. I was debating whether printing myself actually saved money by the time I bought ink and paper.

@@hg8247 I think if you already have the tools to print and bind your own curriculum it’s good or if you plan on printing other things it’s a good investment. You’ll save over time. Also no waiting for shipping.

I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers lol. You're videos are so helpful! My daughter will be in Kindergarten this fall and we're going with The Good and The Beautiful for LA and Math and we purchased it, but I'm thinking about printing it ourselves in the future. We ended up printing the K Primer and Supplement, but just put it in a little folder..I like how you put the curriculum together, it looks nice.

Good and Beautiful Rocks! I have a 3rd grader and kindergartner ... we use math, LA, Science and History. There's so many free printables... (full curriculum--mostly level 1-5) on their website. So see what you can supplement by printing yourself! TGAB is a very reasonably priced curriculum, but I'd definitely vouch for printing your own LA and Handwriting. :)

I have an inkjet printer also but I'm going to try a laserjet printer for these kinds of jobs. Supposedly you can get 1000 pages per toner and they are a lot faster. Thanks for sharing about the binder. I'm looking for something other than the proclick but the only thing I don't like about this is the bulkiness of it. The price is reasonable.
@stephaniebowman5232 жыл бұрын
I have a laser printer and it’s definitely fast and prints a lot, but the toner costs a fortune so when you hit that 1000ish level print limit it costs me $400 to refill the toner. I’m looking to get the ecotank for that reason!

Thank you for such an informative and well executed video on how to do this yourself! This was exactly what I needed to see because I just discovered TGATB a few weeks ago and my daughter absolutely loves it and is exactly what I was looking for! (Other free resources really weren't working) :/ and since I have multiple children, 3 very young, learning how to coil so I can continue to homeschool affordably is going to be a lifesaver. Anyway, I already had bought my printer, and with the exception of not wanting to wait til June for the clippers, I used all your links because that really took the guesswork out for me, thank you again! ❤

No we don’t remove anything ahead of time. We just work right out of the book. So when it’s time for independent work she just write me right in the book. It’s easier for me to keep everything together in case I need to show our portfolio all of her work is in one spot.

Very helpful video, thank you! I was wondering how you were able to use those 20mm coils when the indicated capacity is 170 pages? It appears as if the level 1 LA for tgab is 368 pages so even if you were to print double sided I don’t see how it would fit. Maybe Kindergarten has less pages but you said that you used level 4 as well.
@Caffie.Mincey2 жыл бұрын
Maybe it depends on the weight of the paper??? I think I used a 20lb. But all the pages fit, double sided print and I can fold the pages back with no issues. So I’m not really sure.
