Noted!

Chinese words are discrete logographs so when we’re learning to write, we use grids. The older you get, the smaller the grids get…but I think at some point, the notebook isn’t for writing words anymore? I’m thinking that the tiny one may be for math and graphing? I should ask my dad…but what do you think?

Also, there are 2 generations of notebooks here. The top (blue) notebook is mine from first or second grade where I attended a school that my mom was a teacher at. It was weird, but interesting, too, because I got to hang out with mom and her teacher friends (my dad had immigrated to Canada first at this time so I hung out with mom a lot).

The other (brown) notebook is from a high school my mom attended!

Obviously, I’m hoarding too many old, sentimental things. Do you do that? Or are you a better minimalist than I am?
