This
is my first year using interactive notebooks with my students. I teach grades PreK-3, but I only use it with
second and third graders,
and
they have Spanish twice a week for
45
minutes each class. We play games and sing a lot in class and sometimes make projects on iPads, but at the end of every unit I like making a
paper project or worksheet they can keep in their notebooks. Last year I used
binders and divided them into sections, but soon enough the binders were messy,
and
some students
dropped them by accident,
and
pages flew all over the place. I am not sure how interactive this notebook is,
but I like calling it that because it sounds less boring than calling
it just a a regular notebook, at least for my
own
motivation! So
far the results have been great and the children really love them. Creating an interactive notebook
is a lot of work. I have decided to create mine along with my students and with
the curriculum in progress to see what activities really work.
Take a peek inside our notebooks. These are some of the activities in the second and third grade interactive notebooks. I will keep adding more pages as the school year progresses.
Children worked on personalizing their notebooks
We used these two activities during the first two weeks of school.
The calendar in the notebook is very useful as we use it as part of our class routine and can refer to it and access it very easily.
We also glue regular worksheets in the notebook folded in half to save space.
These are two different activities second and third graders did to review and learn new parts of the body.
We also glue booklets and lyrics of some of the songs we learn during class.
This is our latest activity to share what we are thankful for in Spanish.
At the end of the notebook we glued envelopes to keep those extra papers we need to save such as our participation cards.
