This week I started new chapters in almost all of my classes. Overwhelming! Because my 7th and 8th grade math classes are both in geometry units I decided to start them off with some vocabulary activities. There are over 30 vocabulary terms for each class. We made vocabulary booklets to staple into their interactive notebooks. When I told them what we were doing, the 7th graders started laughing because we've done this activity before and there was a little mishap. I had to go on emergency leave at the beginning of the year and created these booklet templates for the sub to have my geography class do while I was gone. When I got back and looked at their work I realized they had done the wrong chapter. Oops! They had to start all over. So glad they can laugh about it :) One of my classes was unusually quiet as they worked on their booklets. When I walked around I could see that they were all concentrating on making detailed and really fantastic illustrations. So proud!
FREE STUFF! You can download a copy of the template. Some students chose to cut theirs on the dotted lines and others wanted to cut around the curves of the frames. That takes longer but does look nicer.
