Earth and Space Unit: Interactive Notebook

Description

This Earth and Space interactive notebook combines the perfect balance of new learning material and material to show what was taught.

The tenth in this series has been a hit in my classroom. This resource includes 12 basic activities. Some of these activities have multiple uses that you can use over and over again. These activities will help your students show what they’re learning, help to write out their learning, and help improve upon what they think they already know. I’ve included enough opportunities to cover a two week teaching period. I have made it very kinder friendly and made the pieces large enough for their little hands to cut. Every line that needs to be cut is a large dotted line to keep things simple. There is only one activity where you will not cut on the dotted line and simply fold, but you’ll see that in the pictures provided.

This unit includes a How-To page with every activity. This way, you will be able to see how and why I included each activity.
