I have been using interactive notebooks in my classroom for 5 or 6 years now. I love the fact that students have this tool all year to refer back to. Each year I refine how I use the notebooks. I use to just use them as a place for the students to do practice problems or warm up activities. Now, notebooks are used for previewing activities, vocabulary work, and lesson examples. In this photo, we used the book Capacity to introduce vocabulary words and give concrete examples and then we went to our notebooks and added the illustration above to clarify how many cups in a pint, pints in a quart, and quarts in a gallon. This visual was actually easier than the famous GALLON MAN!!! (because the letters are IN each letter... if that makes sense... look and the picture to see what I'm trying to say in words...)
