I hope everyone has had a great start to the new school year. This year I am putting a ton of effort into really having my students buy into the Interactive Notebooks. Last year was the first year I used them in my classroom, and it was quite a learning experience for me. This year, I have really tried to perfect them.
I wanted to share some pictures of where I have started from the beginning of September. I plan on updating each month to show you what I am doing, and how I am incorporating it into the interactive notebook.
This is my requirements sheet for English.
This is Reference Page # 2. I created this ditto to show the students how we set up a page with the date, title, page number, "I Can" statement, and an "I Learned" Statement.
The importance of the Interactive Notebook ditto.
The Table of Contents for the writing section. We glue in a table of contents for each section.
The first writing assignments my students do is writing about their favorite summer memory. I always model the work, so I wrote about my favorite summer memory as well.
If you ever have any questions about how to set up an interactive notebook, please feel free to e-mail me!
