Use this template for any grade level!  There are 12 table of contents pages with tabs for each unit. It's the easiest way I have found that works for my students. Rather than make a huge table of contents list and wonder how many pages to use for it at the beginning of the notebook, I have students cut and paste these pages in the notebook.

Use tape to reinforce the tabs. I only give students one page at a time when we start a new unit. These pages are customizable in Google Drive. You can change the font and font size. 

There are additional instructions on the page to add information to the table of contents page such as your state standards.  You could even use it as a unit check and include a few quick questions. Use it as a quick quiz grade at the end of the unit. There are so many options!
