The students are required to work in a Math interactive notebook, a Science interactive Notebook, as well as a English Language Arts notebooks. The students do not fully understand what is expected of them due to their lack of reading skills. How can Ms. Love help her Kindergarten students fully use interactive notebooks without is being something that is only done and be more beneficial? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Modeling is so important in Kindergarten! Mrs. Love needs to work slowly in creating the books with them. Allow the book to be more picture vs. word based. Mrs. Love should create the book with them and show them how she uses the books to work on assignments. As the year goes on less modeling will be needed and students can work independently or in pairs to create their notebook. Mrs. Love can also print out labels or titles for things that the Kindergarten students could cut and paste into their notebook for those students who can't read the words yet.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: The only way students know exactly what a teacher wants is to model it and stress expectations.

Students just want to make sure they do everything that the teacher does and they look for approval. This is a great solution. Rated On: October 20, 2014 12:37 am Rated By: Lauren Hill
