For me, it's d...Oooh that is a GREAT question!! For me, it's different for each subject. In science and social studies, since the units are so specific, it's kind of "one-and-done." Although I send my notebooks home a few days before the test so that they can study, and they can also use their notebooks on the test. For math, we have spiral review workbook pages every day, so if my students get to a problem they're having trouble with, they refer back to their notebooks as a reference. Same for my literacy notebook (reading, writing, and phonics). That's the quick answer, but I'll refer more to your question in my last few posts of this series :)Angela Nerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850764825940118172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-36960534264638858512015-02-04T18:22:51.457-06:002015-02-04T18:22:51.457-06:00I think a large part of my success with INs was no...I think a large part of my success with INs was not trying to use them in all subjects. It's just too overwhelming when you're trying to learn how to implement them and your best ways to plan. When I first started, I chose to use INs in science because I only teach 4 science units in the year. I had plenty of time to plan out everything I needed for each unit. Once I had my process down, planning was faster and more automatic for me. Make sure you follow this series, because I'm going to talk all about how I plan for teaching with INs :)Angela Nerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850764825940118172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-58775019825308518472015-02-04T18:20:03.631-06:002015-02-04T18:20:03.631-06:00Yeah, math is hard when you have the math journal....Yeah, math is hard when you have the math journal. I've used the IN a couple of ways in math: I've used it as a review/recap for some skills (money, time, place value). We completed the page after I taught the lessons from the book. I've also used it to replace whole units. I really hate the 2nd grade geometry unit, so we just used the math journal for the Math Boxes during that unit and we used our notebooks to learn about geometry concepts. I have that unit in my store if you're interested :)Angela Nerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850764825940118172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-12213367146578053302015-02-03T17:18:04.143-06:002015-02-03T17:18:04.143-06:00I just off strong with wanting to do the notebooks...I just off strong with wanting to do the notebooks consistently, and the kids love them, but then I lose steam...I need/want to stay motivated. Maybe I need a definite plan for notebook entries?Susan K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07383261948584242729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-89016619616106572772015-02-03T15:46:53.737-06:002015-02-03T15:46:53.737-06:00I tried IN for the first time with math this year....I tried IN for the first time with math this year.

How do you make sure you go back and revisit the pages and when you do revisit a page what exactly do you have your kids do with the page?
