Back-To-School

18 Cute Notebooks That Make Every Subject Exciting

All they need are doodles in the margins.

Shopping for school supplies is one of the most exciting parts of heading back to school — your child gets to choose a backpack that shows off their personality, decide which lunchbox and water bottle they like best, and pick out all their pens and pencils too. And for some kids, choosing cute notebooks for every class is the best part.

When you were in school, did you assign specific colors to certain classes? Maybe red notebooks and folders were for reading while green was meant for math. Well, with all the characters, patterns, and designs available today, maybe it’s more like the pizza notebook is for history and the Black Panther one is for science.

Depending on your child’s grade, they may need spiral notebooks for some classes and composition books for others. And the older they are, the more likely they are to need a steady supply of graph paper (which happens to come in cute notebooks these days as well). No matter their interests, you can find the notebooks they need in designs that will make them excited to flip open a fresh page and get to work.

Spiral notebooks

This school supply is on every kid’s list of must-haves, and sometimes they’ll need one for every class. With cool designs and bright colors, they’ll know which notebook is for which class (and hopefully stop forgetting the one they need to do their homework at school). Just make sure to heed their teacher’s preferences on college- versus wide-ruled before you add to cart.

Composition notebooks

Black and white composition books are all the way out — bring on the superheroes, smiley faces, and even the pizza slices. There are countless cute notebooks available online that will make your child’s composition book stand out in science class. Even better, many composition books today are made of recycled materials (like the pizza picnic notebook below).

Lined notebooks

Does your kid need a place to jot down ideas, tasks, or random thoughts throughout the day? A smaller lined notebook is perfect for journaling or learning to create to-do lists. You could purchase one hardcover notebook to last them all year, or opt for a multipack of smaller ones if they tend to lose their journal often.

Grid notebooks

OK, making graphing fun is a big ask, but maybe these cute notebooks filled with graph paper can help. They all have at least 80 sheets to work on, so they should last through a semester (or at least the first quarter). If your child needs to turn in their graphs, just note that only the yellow notebook has perforated pages. Otherwise, all three are perfect for keeping math homework organized in one place.

Blank notebooks & sketchpads

Kids taking art class may have a sketchbook on their supply list this year, and art class is definitely the place to show off some personality in their supplies. You can choose one with spirals on the top (for left-handed kids who hate having them in the way), large pages, or some personalization on the cover.

Notebooks with a planner

Some schools provide a planner to every student at the start of the new school year. If your child’s school doesn’t, or the layout just doesn’t work well for them, browse for kid-friendly planners online. For elementary schoolers, find one that includes calendars, daily task lists, and bonus pages like allowance trackers. For middle and high school kids, search for planners with notebook pages for jotting down assignments, class schedules, and handy conversion charts they can reference in class.

With cute notebooks packed into their new backpack, you can send your kid to their first day of school knowing their supplies will show off exactly who they are. Just beware that you may be creating a stationery addict (but there are worse things, right?).

The idea of releasing an assignment planner here in Shining Mom started when I saw the need of creating one for my kid.  As the school year is closing near, I have noticed that Kyle is having more and more homework! His little school diary is sometimes no longer enough to hold his tasks for the week, hence the momma needs to come to rescue!  I created one for him and happily, I finished it outright. So inspired, I created more templates!

For my son’s homework planning sheet, the layout is rather simple. He needs a basic planner where he can easily manage his assignments. A planner where he can write the assignment subjects, tasks, due dates,  and of course, an area where he can tick the done or undone assignments. And this is exactly what I created for him.

Let me show you my Kyle’s assignment planner. If you think this will also ease your school kid in organizing his assignments, please get your copy here.  And if you need more templates, do scroll down. I have more to offer!

This is a site about the books and other writing by James Rodgers, author of Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia From Lenin to Putin ( new edition 2023 ; first published July 2020); Headlines from the Holy Land (2015 and 2017); No Road Home: Fighting for Land and Faith in Gaza (2013); Reporting Conflict (2012). My work looks at how stories of international affairs, especially armed conflict, are told to the world.

I am an author and journalist. During two decades of covering international news, I reported on the end of the Soviet Union; the wars in Chechnya; the coming to power of Vladimir Putin; 9/11; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; the 2003 war in Iraq; Russia’s war with Georgia in 2008. I completed correspondent postings for the BBC in Moscow, Brussels, and Gaza. I now teach in the Journalism Department at City, University of London.

Now Out: Assignment Moscow ‘Beautifully written, fascinating throughout’

MY NEW BOOK , Assignment Moscow: Reporting on Russia from Lenin to Putin has now been published in the U.S. and the U.K.

You can order copies, and read more about the book, here for the U.K, edition ( here for the U.S. edition).

These are the reviews so far

“Reporting from Russia has never been easy; Rodgers vividly captures the changing fortunes of Moscow correspondents over the past hundred years, as they penetrated the mysteries of life in Russia and brought them to our newspapers and screens. Some were duped, some were fellow-travellers or spies; most battled against censors and blank-faced politicians; all have helped to shape our understanding of the world’s biggest country.” –  Angus Roxburgh, former Moscow correspondent for the BBC, Sunday Times and Economist

“Writing about journalism in Russia since the revolution, James Rodgers rightly emphasises that to understand Russia you have to talk to people of all kinds. But he argues that even correspondents who knew the language and the history found it hard to report dispassionately because of official obstruction and their own emotional involvement.” –  Rodric Braithwaite

“A highly original, engrossing and accessible book, Assignment Moscow stands out among journalistic accounts of Russia for its subtlety, humility and historic scope. It tells the story of British and American journalists who aimed to throw light on Russia from Lenin to Putin, and in the process illuminated the West itself.” –  Arkady Ostrovsky, Author of The Invention of Russia: The Rise of Putin and the age of Fake News, Winner of the 2016 Orwell Prize

“It is hard to believe that in the torrent of books published on Russia each year, that one could come along as original and valuable as Assignment Moscow. One comes to appreciate the service of our reporting men and women in Moscow. For all their fallibilities, without their dedication, we wouldn’t have half the understanding of Russia that we have today, imperfect as it will always be. We therefore owe them – and especially Rodgers as journalist, teacher, analyst and cataloguer – a huge debt.” –  James Nixey, Chatham House

I was also delighted to get this endorsement on Twitter from Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at the University of Oxford, and author of The Silk Roads and The New Silk Roads .

Beautifully written, fascinating throughout – and very timely. Happy publication day ⁦ @jmacrodgers ⁩ ! #AssignmentMoscow pic.twitter.com/WY4xlYL6ZR — Peter Frankopan (@peterfrankopan) July 23, 2020

I will be talking about the book at a number of events planned for September onwards. I will share details here when they are available.

I am very happy to talk at book festivals, to universities, think tanks, conferences etc. Please get in touch if you are interested–contact details below, or via the publisher, I.B. Tauris, part of Bloomsbury .
