Kimberly,
I also combine my Reader's/Writer's Notebooks into one interactive
journal.  I would suggest that you NOT go to 3 or 4 smaller notebooks,
as then you have 3 or 4 more artifacts to grade.  I can see your
complaint about the 3-subject notebook being too big to lug around and
grade; but I certainly wouldn't want to grade even 2 different notebooks
with my 4 core Lang. Arts sections.  That would multiply my grading
headache to 8 sets of notebooks instead of 4.  You would be compounding
your headache into 12 or more sets of notebooks to slog through.  I just
use a 70-page notebook.  That seemed to work fine until we needed to get
new notebooks for the semester change and transfer essential papers from
the old to the new notebook.  I think there is no one perfect way; just
a matter of how much headache do you want to suffer.

"I think next year I am going to have them get three or four hardback
composition books.  One for Reader's Workshop Notes and Responses,
Writer's
Conventions and Word Work, and Writing Notebook."
