You may be wondering why 4 black and white composition books are on our class' supply list. Well, I will tell you. This year we are going to be Notebooking by subject area.
Children learn so much when they are using more of their senses while learning new concepts. Notebooking is student-created and teacher-directed. The notebook is a simple tool that allows students to have control over their studies, as well as the ability to go back and look through past concepts presented. With Notebooking, students do not have to remember all the details on a topic, but can refresh their memories by looking at the pictures that they have drawn and small notes that were added to a page.
