Have you ever caught yourself saying… I can't find my . . . notes, homework, old quizzes . . . I can't remember what we did in class yesterday. I'm sure it's somewhere in... my desk my cubby my book bag my room I don't know how to do my homework! What do I use to study for the quiz or test? I was absent yesterday, did I miss anything?
If so, interactive notebooks are your answer to success! When will I use them? You will be using interactive notebooks in science and social studies. You will also use them in 4th grade! Do they go home? All notebooks go home on Thursdays with your Thursday folder so someone at home can look at them to make sure they are complete and you are doing your best work! Will they be graded? YES!!! Your teacher will collect them and grade them about once every 2-3 weeks, but will check them daily/weekly for completion. Are they class work or homework? BOTH! Right side is always class work. Left side is not. Usually you will be given class time to work on your left side but if you don’t finish you will have to work on it at home. You have to be responsible and make sure you are keeping up!
What is an interactive notebook? • Your own personalized portfolio that includes everything you’ve learned throughout the year! • A helpful tool that will help you complete your homework • Study tool for quizzes and tests • Great resource for end of the year review • Helps you stay organized! You never have to worry about losing papers. • Allows for the 4 C’s: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication!

How is it organized? • The Right Side is teacher directed and is restricted for the teacher only. This is where you will learn new information and take notes on what you learn. You will learn exactly how to take notes on this side. • The Left Side is the your side. This is the side that you show your understanding of the right side. It is your independent practice. This is the side where you will have choice and get to be creative! • Table of Contents: You will number all of your pages in your notebook by writing them on the upper right hand corner. You will keep your notebooks organized by using a table of contents at the beginning of your notebook. You will need to skip the first 4 pages of your notebook for a table of contents. Your table of contents will include page numbers and lesson titles.

Left Side Choices • At the beginning of the year, students won’t get as much choice until they learn a variety of left side assignments. • Eventually, students will get more choice in what they do on the left side. • This choice may have to do with their learning styles, multiple intelligences, or bloom’s taxonomy.

Review: • You will use interactive notebooks in science & SS • They will be collected for grades • You MUST take home your notebooks at least every Thursday • Always try to get the WOW factor by exceeding expectations. In other words, always do your best work and BE CREATIVE! • NEVER leave your notebook at home • Take really good care of your notebook • Always keep up to date with your page numbers, dates, and table of contents. • Don’t get your left and right side confused. • Make sure you use enough glue, but not too much! Also, don’t forget that we can always use more glue sticks!!
Parent Reminders: • Check your child’s notebooks WEEKLY! • Make sure your child is keeping up with their left sides. They may have to finish some at home. • All left sides must have color, however a majority of their time should be spent on content. • Students’ handwriting and work should always be their best! • Encourage your child to go above and beyond as well as be creative! • Use this as an opportunity to see what they are learning in school. • You may ask, why interactive notebooks? Middle school teachers said the 2 things students are lacking are organization and note-taking. These will help them when they get to middle school!
