INB's are an organization tool used by CMS students. It is a portfolio of their work- in class and out. They are required to bring it everyday. It is used as a learning and study guide. The notebook is set up according to brain research. The right pages are for information/ facts: Cornell notes, informational texts, lab procedures, etc... The left pages are used to process the information: lab results, creative special assignments, etc...
The INB is comprised of several sections. The first page is the Table of Contents. This will tell you where everything is located. The third page is the GEMS of Wisdom. This is a brief overview of the most important topics studied. In the middle is the work. Finally, in the back of the notebook, is a grade page. You can use it to check your child's grades. (However, for a more complete and offical grade page: go online to the internet grade book. If you do not have a log in for that, please contact the district office.) |
