I did an interactive language arts notebook at my last school and it turned out wonderful. I changed schools and content to Social Studies but my principal does not like interactive notebooks bc she feels they spend the hour cutting n pasting so I am really bummed I am not able to do one this year

LOVE this idea. I'm a preservice teacher currently and we're doing these for my social studies methods class. I'm in a year long student teaching intern program–I kind of just observe and help out in the classroom in the first semester, and then completely take over teaching in the second semester. I was planning to do this during my student teaching semester in the spring, but I heard my mentor teacher say today that she hates "more notebooks"… I'm not sure whether doing these would be stepping on her toes or not :

This was great! We kind of do the same in Kindergarten. The collage is a fantastic idea. Definitely incorporating that next year. Kuddos!

Great ideas! I am also a teacher and a parent. We need to remember to focus more on CONTENT and not just that it looks good. While neatness is important, it should be a very small part of the grade. 🙂 I'm not saying you don't do that, but you've only shown us the aesthetically pleasing notebooks. I LOVE your videos!!! I am just passionate about focusing on getting kids to focus more on the content.

My sister and I had blocked classes in middle school as well math/science and English/history. Also I remember finding my high school note book of U.S. History and I was surprised. In my high school U.S. History starts at WWI and continues from there. I wish I had remembered more form my middle school history class.

My interim grades are due tomorrow, so it's nice to know that I wasn't alone in my weekend paperwork. 😉 Meanwhile, thank you so much for sharing your interactive notebooks. I will work on setting this up for next year. This year, I'm trying a journaling notebook and it just isn't working. I think the interactive notebook will be a much better fit! I hope you've been feeling well and that you have a very Happy New Year! 🙂
