We have officially finished our first social studies unit of the year, civics. The student notebooks turned out wonderful. As we begin our first science unit, simple machines, I feel like I have learned a lot about notebooking and how to keep the students organized. I am excited to keep at it and for all of us to better at documenting our learning through notebooking. Below are pictures of our first unit.Notebook Title Page
