There are definitely interactive notebooks for elementary. I currently do them in science & social studies w/ my 2nd graders. The website is www.irncorp.com (that's i r n corp--it looked kind of scrunched on my screen). These 2 ladies are fantastic. They offer a one-day workshop. My principal paid for me to go last summer, and then paid for the science & social studies notepages for Virginia standards, teacher guides, etc ($65 each). Everything comes on a CD, and you can reformat it to what your kids need. They also showed us how to do them with K and 1st grade (mostly whole-class).
I highly recommend doing them if you can get to a workshop near you. My kids love them, I love them. They are a great way of reinforcing the strategies that you teach in reading (making connections & predictions, inferring, visualizing, asking questions, and synthesizing information). Check out their website! Melissa/VA/2nd On Jan 5, 2008 8:34 PM, Mary Milner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I google'd Interactive Notebook and got a site that was loaded with > information.
