My Project

Every year I make interactive notebooks with my students. We use many materials in order to make the learning pop!

I love to use Astrobrights Colored Cardstock and Astrobrights Colored Paper to light up the flipbooks we make to add to our interactive notebooks.

The transparent notebooks will help us to annotate text but still be able to see the text!

AND.... who couldn't use a few boxes of pre-sharpened pencils to last the rest of the school year? This will help tremendously as there are always a few students who love to eat" those pencils!
