Elan Publishing Company Class Record Book for 9-10 Weeks. 50 Names R1010 (Maroon)

Since my school district has very unreliable software for keeping digital grades, I decided to put time back in my hands by going old school and purchasing this lovely gradebook. The burgundy color is professional and looks nice on my desk during the day or to carry to parent conferences and IEP meetings. The cover is also tough, and the gradebook is slim enough to carry around to students' desks when checking journals or keeping track of participation in class activities. The inside of the gradebook is green with enough space to keep 10 weeks worth of grades for 40 weeks. There is also space to keep running averages. I only have to enter students' names once, as there is a perforated edge. Just make sure you leave enough pages behind each class so you have enough for each class for each grading period. I really like the section at the front of the gradebook for data on the run, and there's a section for seating charts. Each page has room for 50 students. I like to use a fine tip pen, and this works well. I imagine if someone wrote larger than I, then the size of the boxes could be a issue, but the boxes are large enough for a mechanical pencil, well sharpened pencil, or fine tip pen. This gradebook has really simplified things and is well worth the price. I highly recommend.

I had wanted to replace my class record book I used for attendance. I found this record book to be sturdy and just what I needed. I am very happy with it.

After reading the reviews and looking at the pictures, I couldn't decide between the King Record and R1010 9 or 10 week record book, so I purchased both. I liked the look of R1010 better, but without the dimensions listed and all the talk of tiny squares I wasn't sure. Now that they've arrived, I still prefer the look of the R1010. The item looks exactly as pictured. The R1010 has a single wrap-around cover, so there's no chance for it to separate. The boxes are 3/16" x 3/16". That 1/16 is significant. The assignment boxes are 13/16 x 3/16. The Students boxes are a little over 1.5 x 3/16. The Month/Dates section has individual boxes 2/16 x 3/16. There are perforations on the Students column. If you use letter grades or any other single-digit grade/ coding system and you don't have any fine motor skill issues this one could work for you. It you write big, this probably isn't the book for you. It might work if you use 2 boxes per student and write sideways, but you'd really be better off with the King Record. I'll have to see how they hold up, but as of right now I think, at a minimum, I've found my preferred record book company.

While I’m plenty adept at using all the technology forces into our classrooms, I spend so much time battling various minor to major interruptions or disruptions w it, I prefer to keep daily track of attendance & grades In writing too. I do think the rows are a bit more narrow than I’d prefer!! But, while theres many more rows than students, even in my fullest class, there isnt enough to skip a row in between students for 3 of my 5 classes, so I make do. But, if you like record keeping by hand also, hence why you’re looking, you may want to look around & see if there are different/better options for your preference. Hadn’t bought a new one in a couple of years, so had no clue it was something I should pay attention too. Also not crazy about the cover; has a bit more of a plastic feel than any I’ve had before, but I fear that’s just what I’m going to encounter w the lack of demand for these now. It wasn’t cheap, so didn’t anticipate it may feel a little cheap. Nonetheless, it does the job.

I like it. This one has up to 50 students which I really need it.

Has lots of room to write student names. Name section is perforated so that you can tear it off for the next marking period if you have the same students and do not need to rewrite names. Covers are sturdy. One downside is the assignment space seems small, but I may just write big! I will edit this review to see how it holds up for a semester.

I needed a new grade book for this semester and ordered the Elan class record book. The book is great -- easy to use, plenty of room, and the layout is really good for use in semester-long classes. The company sent the book quickly, it was well-packaged and I purchased it at a great price -- what more can you ask for? I will buy my next book here again and will most likely order the same edition (hope they keep offering it for a long time). It really is a good buy and a great book!

Perfect for attendance for 180 days, 4 quarters. Efficient design and layout. Back section for notes.
