KEEPING WARM Penguins live in cold parts of the world, and spend 75% of their lives swimming around in icy water. They are able to keep warm in the water because of the layer of fat they have under their skin called blubber. This helps to insulate them and keep them warm. Penguins are covered in fluffy down feathers, which are then covered with more outer feathers. These feathers help to seal in warmth. Penguins are able to waterproof their feathers by coating them in oil from a special gland. This helps to keep them dry and warm.

PENGUINS INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK FOLDABLES This section of the package contains the following: 3 Pages of Information on Interactive Notebooks, and how to set them up for use in your classroom Penguin Fact or Opinion Foldable Penguin Facts: Three Fact Foldable Noun, Verb, Adjective Foldable Penguins: Key Information Foldable Would You Like A Penguin As A Pet? Foldable

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS Interactive Notebooks are designed to allow students to record information about various units of study in an engaging way. As the students learn new ideas, they have the opportunity to use several types of writing and graphic techniques to record and process them. INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS ALLOW STUDENTS TO USE BOTH THEIR VISUAL AND LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCES The Interactive Notebook allows visual learners to explore new ways to share ideas, and encourages non-visual learners to become more proficient with graphic approaches in a non-threatening way. Both types of learners will use the notebooks to work on their writing skills, while learning valuable note-taking strategies. INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS HELP STUDENTS TO SYSTEMATICALLY ORGANIZE AS THEY LEARN Students use the notebooks to organize their thoughts and ideas. A variety of organizational techniques are used, to synthesize concepts and help make sense of what they learn. The notebook allows assignments to be kept together in a regular place, and in a logical order. Students who struggle with organization often find the notebooks very helpful.

NOTEBOOKS BECOME PORTFOLIOS OF INDIVIDUAL LEARNING These creative notebooks become records of each student s growth. The teacher, student, and parents can use the notebooks to review a student s progress in writing, illustrating, recording, thinking, and organizing. Student growth can be clearly seen as they progress throughout the school year. THE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND ALLOWS STUDENTS TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES Students begin a new notebook at the start of each unit. Throughout the unit, the notebooks are collected sporadically, and checked for completion. When improvement is needed, sticky notes with constructive criticism are added. As the notebooks are not collected for marks until the very end of a unit, students have multiple opportunities to receive feedback and improve their work before receiving a final mark. INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS ARE VALUABLE STUDY TOOLS As all the information needed for each unit is contained inside the Interactive Notebook, the notebooks become comprehensive study guides created by the students themselves. Having everything complete, organized, and in one place makes studying much easier.

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS: HOW DO I SET THEM UP? I use composition books for my Interactive Notebooks. They are inexpensive, and can be bought in bulk. If you are doing a longer unit, they are a great choice because they hold up really well. Keytab style notebooks also work great. They are even more inexpensive, and can usually be bought in multi packs. These notebooks hold up just fine for a shorter unit. I have even duct taped two together to add additional pages when necessary. You can buy all sorts of cool duct tape patterns, and it works great! The first thing I have my students do is design the cover page. You could use the included cover page, or have the kids design their own. They glue this on the very first page of their notebook (or, you could even have them glue it to the front). All of the additional activities we do throughout the unit are then done inside the notebook. There is space for students to write, and also space for students to glue in foldables and worksheets. When it is time to mark the unit, all of the activities are in one place no random sheets of paper to hunt down and keep track of! When it is time to study, the notebooks become interactive study guides! Everything they need to review is in one convenient place!
