11. The purpose of an Interactive Student Notebook is to enable your child to be a creative, independent thinker and writer. Interactive notebooks will be used for class notes as well as for other activities in which you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class. Interactive notebooks tend to have a learning curve, and we will learn as we go along.
