  Case: Interactive Notebooks
Students in Ms. Love's Kindergarten classroom are required to complete Interactive Notebook entries in three different subject areas. 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!)
I use interactive notebooks in fifth grade as well. Even in this grade, I print out things that I want to go in their notebooks. It may be a map or diagram, but it is something that I do not see the point in making them draw from scratch. Give them something that you printed out, but make them add to it with labels, coloring, or a sentence at the bottom giving a summary about what it is. You must model, model, model!
