Are they worth the time? We'll see! :)<br /><br />@Mrs. H - I honestly chose the paper so it would stand out more. I don't know that the kids pay any attention to stuff written on the board. The yellow was bright.<br /><br />@Megan - Glad to see I'm not too far off of things. But like you said, it's the left side that's going to get me. I made one for the late-comer but won't be doing that for any other new kids. And yes, I'm keeping one for myself! :)<br /><br />@Pam - I like the idea of the pic but I'm thinking we could just use another student's as a model, too. Hoping that absences won't affect too much!<br /><br />@Mrs. Fisher - good luck tomorrow! I love the color and energy of your blog. :)<br />KFousshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493982153040173831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603974995273930599.post-53993128641664862062012-09-03T21:19:02.526-04:002012-09-03T21:19:02.526-04:00First day of school tomorrow!

I'm glad you're basically happy with ...Yay! I'm glad you're basically happy with the INBs. Here are a few of my thoughts on issues you've raised. Of course, YMMV.<br /><br />1. (RE: on the same page) Expect to spend most of the semester answering "what page does this go on?" I always put the page number on the whiteboard when giving notes there. Seemed to help<br /><br />4. (RE: cut/tape/etc is time consuming) The INB definitely slows you down. But it was definitely Julie who said that can be a good thing.<br /><br />6. (RE: Keeping a running TOC on the board) The board summary is gorgeous! As someone who also doesn't carry through with ideas, I can suggest you assign a student to be the caretaker of the board-TOC. It totally helped me out. Also, when it comes time to grade selected pages, you can star them on here.<br /><br />8. (RE: kids who join class late) For anxiety-kid, yeah, I like keeping one ready for him. For other kids, I just have them pick up where we are. An alternative is to have them count out a right page for every week or unit they missed and fill in big ideas. My 3rd idea is to have the kid go through your INB (you ARE keeping a master book, aren't you?!?!) to pull out big ideas. Kids coming late is a tough one and I dealt with it all the time. No great solutions there.Megan Hayes-Goldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235614310269066451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603974995273930599.post-6859717765403285452012-08-30T22:02:17.470-04:002012-08-30T22:02:17.470-04:00I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with my INB&#...I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with my INB's. This is my first year and I'm not completely satified with how things have gone so far. I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of students who have been absent and keeping up with the entries. I started writing mine on the whiteboard today like you did, but I like your idea of the laminated paper better. I just needed a way to keep it straight. Oh well, I guess I'm learning as I go.

I look forward to following your progress using notebooks this year.<br /><br />My last couple years of teaching, interactive notebooks were all the rage in my district, especially for science. I used them, but I felt like I didn't really make the most of it. I'm curious to see what pitfalls you encounter and how you overcome them. I'm also curious to know over the course of the year what value you think they bring, especially in light of the effort you're expending to incorporate them into your classes.<br /><br />Best of luck to you!bstockushttp://bstockus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
