I don't think anybody at school did, it just wasn't a big deal around here I guess. We always just wrote our name on the inside cover so we could tell who the book was being used by.</p> <p>At the school I teach at now they aren't allowed. Too much of a distraction I guess? Plus we swap books out pretty frequently (every couple of units) so it would be a pain to have to move the covers as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65323 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:39:50 +0000 mynoahbear 65323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used brown paper bags too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65314 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:26:59 +0000 BSB 65314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I did. I usually used a brown paper bag. I think I used newspaper from the comics section one year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65308 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:17:37 +0000 Boogs 65308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. Usually it was with brown paper bags or even wrapping paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65299 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:00:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 65299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hah! This thread = love. Seriously, I get giddy thinking of taking future kids school supply shopping!!</p> <p>We used brown paper bags (so sturdy, honestly) and then when those cool stretchy ones came out (that ripped in a week!) my mom bought me one. I thought it was so cool, navy blue with stars..sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65209 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:48:29 +0000 banana 65209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.bee: I remember trapper keepers!

But most of the time I used the papers from those huge calendars that my mom would bring home from the korean market. LOL. Those papers were da bomb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-make-book-covers-when-you-were-in-school#post-65024 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:55:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 65024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mine as well.
