So you are thinking of implementing interactive notebooks in your class (yay!). Let me give you some things to think about before diving into making notes. What type of notebook will you use? Where will the other non-notebook papers go such as discovery activities or homework? What other supplies will you need? Will you use tape or glue, or maybe both? Where will everything get stored? I am here to make your life a little simpler and give you some guidance to answer these questions. It's a long post but full of good information.
I am sure you have all heard of an interactive notebook at one time or another (if you haven't please do not hesitate to ask!), and perhaps you even considered using them in your classroom but are still unsure and nervous. I am here to give you five reasons why I love using interactive notebooks in my class.
