Notebooking is another fun way to keep record of what you've learned while
providing your student with a tool for review; at the end of your school year,
your notebook will also be a reminder of all the special memories you've created
together.
Notebooking means different things to different people. Some people use a blank
notebook and add in lapbook components, others use it as more of a writing tool,
and still others mix the two.
Your notebook may look like this:
a three ring binder
divided by subjects or by unit study title
include worksheets, art projects, etc.
Or this:
a blank spiral bound scrapbook
include various items such as
minit books (small folded books used in lapbooking)
photographs of student completing projects/photos of completed projects
tickets from field trips
parts of worksheets
coloring pages
Or this:
a three ring binder
divided by subjects or by unit study title
include notebooking pages -- pretty pages with graphic organizers (squares,
circles, etc.) to help your student organize and record what she's learned
notebooking pages are different than worksheets in that your student has to do
all/most of the thinking
Your notebook may even be a combination of all of the above. Click here to
