Using and Creating Matchbook Interactive Notebook Pages INB

 


When I first started making interactive notebook pages, I knew I didn't want them to be very complicated. After doing some online searching, I realized that the matchbook cover design would be the easiest for students to complete. They were easy to put together and took very little time.

Using Task Cards with Game Boards


When I was still teaching, I used task cards in my classroom ALL THE TIME. I would often pair the cards with a game board so that students could practice a skill that they needed remediation on or so students could review for a test.

13 English Colonies Interactive Notebook INB


We started out by labeling a map. We colored each of the regions a different color, added a key and then labeled each of the colonies.

Foldable Friday: Explorers

Last year when I taught the explorers, I had the students write the information down on a chart. This year I wanted to add the interactive component to it. I created these interactive foldable graphic organizers for my 5th graders.

The Spanish explorers graphic organizer covers Christopher Columbus, Hernan Cortes, Francisco de Coronado, Hernando de Soto and Amerigo Vespucci.




The English and Dutch Explorers cover John Cabot, Henry Hudson, and John White.



Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain for the French.



The graphic organizer set also includes posters on each of the explorers.


You can purchase this set in my TpT store, TN store and Tools for School store.

Foldable Friday: Regions of Indiana

As I walked down the hall to my classroom, I noticed these wonderful interactive foldable graphic organizers.  These were done by our fourth grade teacher (who got the idea from one of our first grade teachers, who's 4th grade child had done it at her school), but I don't know who to credit for the original idea.



I love how they incorporated the map into the graphic organizer. I've been trying to come up with something similar for a topic I teach.


Inside, they defined each of the regions and drew pictures of the characteristics specific to that region.

Foldable Friday: Viking Exploration of North America

We started our Explorers unit last week. We start off with the vikings that explored North America and talk about Erick the Red and his son Leif Eriksson.

We start by reading and taking notes in our interactive foldable graphic organizers.





Next, we mapped out their travels.



Both the graphic organizer and map get taped into our social studies notebook.


This set includes 3 posters, 1 map and 1 interactive foldable graphic organizer.


This FREE set can be found in my stores:  TpT, TN and Tools for Schools.

Foldable Friday: US Regions

This summer I spent some time creating some resources for my 5th graders. Our first unit is geography and the students have to learn about the Regions of the United States.  I wanted them to use maps and graphic organizers to gather their information.

The first thing I had them do was to label all the states and then mark the different regions on their maps.


We then took notes about each region and put the information on an interactive foldable graphic organizer.




You can find this product in my TpT, TN and Tool for School shops.
