    I love when students can create notebooks because it already allows them to have physical evidence of what they have learned. It also allows for them to have something that they can look back on to review anything we have gone over so far.

      Thank you! Yes, I love that they can review using the notebook, which can also be helpful for subs as well πŸ™‚

    The best product I could find on the market for a “Music” foldables/interactive notebooks. It is labeled as “Middle School” but some materials more elementary in design BUT still a quality product and one I’m already using!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thank you for your honest and positive feedback! I’m thrilled to hear that it’s already found a place in your classroom πŸ™‚
