The Left Side is for LEARNING. This is the side that holds information that I give you.

The Right Side is for REFLECTION and contains only your reflections about what you have learned. It should be full of color, and it’s the side where you can get creative.

The notebook is divided into TWO sections.

The LEFT SIDE should only contain information given from Mrs. Wilson while we are learning new material. Nothing else should be placed on this page!

The LEFT SIDE contains all the TESTABLE material.
