Sunday Planning Vol. 3
How is notebooking interactive?
Dear Mama,
This week, I am resuming classes and want to take you along with me. I love lesson planning. There is a sense of peace when I look at my planner and know what to do next and not winging it. I hope the tips I share with you will help you in this week’s planning.
Happy planning,
Mirley
This Week’s Notebooking Tip
How is notebooking interactive?
Notebooking requires students to apply higher-order thinking. Students interact with the information provided by the book and/or teacher. With that information, students use higher-order thinking skills to write their narrations and organize their notebooks.
Notebooking forces students to move beyond basic memorization (lower-order thinking) in order to cultivate complex cognitive skills such as analysis, evaluation, and creativity. The practice of higher-level thinking gives students the ability to work in new situations, solve problems, and form reasoned judgments.
Plan Out Your Week
Remember, there is no perfect schedule or lesson order. For example, if you need to complete math first, do it first before Morning Time.
Set a time to lesson plan. You can even do it with a group of friends. ( I used to do that back in my teaching days.)
Keep your planner out during lessons. It is good to refer back to, scratch off what didn’t work, and add notes to modify the following week.
Add a section in your planner for your Mother’s Diary. You don’t need another planner for it. A simple section in your planner will do.
What I’m doing for my mother-culture
Bible: This year, I will be reading through Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon, then journaling and praying.
Non-fiction book: This month, I will be reading through The Legacy Life by David Green. This book helps us look ahead to the life we want for our children and how to plant the seeds today.
Fiction book: This month, for my non-fiction book, I will be reading The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera. I have heard great things about this book, so I’m looking forward to reading it.
Handicraft: This month, I’m going to continue learning how to watercolor. My current watercolor teacher is Mallery Jane.
