Having notebooks on day one provides students with no excuses to participate. Students are able to store their learning and use it as reference when completing assignments and homework. Students at this grade level often feel defeated when they can't participate in the lesson because they don't have a marker or notebook. This can often lead to misbehaving throughout the day as they struggle with letting it go. Students will also be able to complete assignments within the classroom. Students don't have to worry about coming to school unprepared. They can walk in my room and leave all of their home issues there and learn! The school I teach at does not provide students with textbooks. All material used and printed comes from the teacher. This can become an issue because the school only supplies one box of paper for the teacher to use per year. Servicing 70 students uses that paper very quickly. Students learn better when they see the math in real world context. The composition notebooks allow them to have their real world questions glued in and they can see their growth over the year. Students have daily math fluency using the dry erase boards. Not having one eliminates the student from participating. Lastly, the students need a place to store their learning. The spiral notebooks allow that to happen. Then students can use it as reference when studying for a test or quiz.
