Three Tips for Using Interactive Notebooks in Your Classroom

If you follow my blog or store, you know that I love interactive notebooks. Here are three tips that you can use to make your life easier when using interactive notebooks.

1. If you buy an interactive notebook packet, don’t feel like you have to use everything in the packet. It’s okay to just pick and choose and use the activities out of order.

2. Make your own sample interactive notebook before school starts. I know your time is limited, but if you are like me, I’m sure you have a few TVs shows you follow. Why not make your interactive notebook while you’re watching TV. Just print out a few pages before your show starts and color, cut and paste while you are relaxing. Just pretend it’s one of those adult coloring books and it will actually be quite relaxing for you.

3. Add a ribbon to each of your students’ notebooks to use as a bookmark. This will save them time from having to flip and flip until they get to the section that they are working on.
