Interactive Notebooks
This year we will be completing interactive notebooks in class. Students will put together these notebooks in class with special labeled dividers. These notebooks will remain in the classroom until time for tests in which they will be able to sign their notebook out to bring home to study if needed. These notebooks will be kept in class for their safety from being misplaced. This is something new we are trying in order to help students keep their materials organized and easy to manage throughout the year. It would be helpful if students did have one specific folder they used for English to keep homework and other items brought between school and home in. Thank in advance for your support in this new experience!
