I'd honestly given up on the concept as either too complicated or mind-numbingly low rigor. Your posts have really revolutionized the way I'm thinking about INs--I'm excited to try again!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038475832349982006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-45082472716673310502015-04-06T10:02:55.921-05:002015-04-06T10:02:55.921-05:00Angela, Thank you for your articles on Interactive...Angela, Thank you for your articles on Interactive notebooks. I have seen too many INB's that have seem to be non thinking busy work, which just replaces non-thinking worksheets. I love it when I see my kids use their INBs as a resource and go back to "check their thinking" or to prove how to do something. I do like your use of the 2 pages ( information and student thinking). I'm going to redo mine to be consistent on this feature. Thanks for all your ideas.<br />Pauline<br /><a href="http://www.firstgradebythesea.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">First Grade by the Sea</a>Pauline Pretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770941103469601371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990160029287003071.post-88710297587073382512015-02-14T14:43:58.272-06:002015-02-14T14:43:58.272-06:00Wow... thank you for this.

All the cutting and glueing takes so much time sometimes that it really ends up not being worth it and is why I stopped doing them for the most part. I plan to really dig into them next year (now that I am getting somewhat kinda sorta comfortable in my new grade).

I can't wait to read the next post in the series, and I hope you'll consider making INBs for first grade math! :)<br /><br />- Katy<br /><a href="http://firstgradekate.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">First Grade Kate</a>Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889835687956874105noreply@blogger.com
