As I scroll through Pinterest, I constantly see the idea of an Interactive Notebook (IN). I've seen IN for math, language arts or science, but not for Spanish. IN are a great note-taking method in the upper levels (as seen in Profa. Baros's Blog), but at the elementary level, they are way to engage the students in the content and provide a sort of portfolio for the year's work. I decided to give this idea a go.
Ideally, I would begin the IN at the beginning of the year. Each student will bring a composition notebook, which they can decorate and make their own.
Students will tab each section according to the themes we study: food, animals and activities. A fourth tab will be for a running dictionary, which can be kept alphabetically or thematically.
For teachers other than Spanish, tabs can divide each unit or can focus on a more conceptual approach. The dictionary piece can be more like a glossary.

Each section has its own index to help students keep track of their work.
