Interactive Notebook Template-Google Drive

Use this template for any grade level!  There are 12 table of contents pages with tabs for each unit. It's the easiest way I have found that works for my students.

Experience

This is my 18th year in education. I have taught all three middle school grade levels (6, 7, and 8). I did my internship at a 9th grade biology class and a 6th grade science class. I worked at the local education service center for two years, and I'm now back in the classroom!

Teaching style

I love bright colors in my classroom. I have a job for every student every day in my science lab. I believe that putting in the effort in the beginning of the school year will make the rest of the school year go smoothly, with expectations and procedures in place.
