My Project

Interactive notebooks are a popular tool in education for several reasons. They help students to organize and synthesize their thoughts by creating a process for them to organize their thinking, which in turn teaches study skills without “teaching” them. I am asking for cardstock, pencils, markers, pens, glue sticks, as well as label maker and garbage bags and other essential items so my students have all the supplies they need for their interactive notebooks.

Interactive notebooks accommodate multiple learning styles at one time in (and out of) the classroom.

Whether a teacher has students input activities as a whole group or as a small group, student output activities give students the ability to show exactly where they are in their understanding of the subject. They also build and strengthen student-teacher-parent interaction. When students are working on homework at home with their interactive notebooks, not only will students be able to use them, but parents will also be able to have a resource into the learning that is taking place in the classroom interactive notebooks have students create a resource to use as they continue to extend their learning.

An interactive notebook works as a textbook for students that is theirs. Not only are they taking beneficial notes, practicing, and reflecting on material, but they are also using that information as they work on future activities. Students are going back and reviewing the prior pages repeatedly and therefore building exposure to the material each time

Finally, interactive notebooks allow students to take ownership of their learning through color and creativity. One of the main things that helps students to buy into the use of interactive notebooks is not the benefits they can see from it but the ability for it to be their own.
