5th Grade Interactive Notebook -- NEW Florida BEST ELA Standards Aligned

This is what I use in my own classroom. I've never had a textbook until this year, so this is what I created to solve that problem. I also think this resource is a great reference for kids when they can't remember what a topic is, what a word means, or as a guide for writing. I think it is empowering to have them find their own answers using safe resources; I always know they will find the right answer with a correct definition, and they get to practice using reference material features like a table of contents, glossary, and index.

This can be used in all three types of Interactive Notebook (three-ring binder, spiral, composition). It can be printed front/back for the three-ring binder. There are some blank pages at the end of each section so you can add additional materials/student reflections if you desire. All of the foldables are at the end of the document.

There are tons of fill-in-the-blank definitions that my kids love filling out. My kids throw their hands in the air to guess the words.

These pages are a great reference for kids as they work independently. I don't have a textbook, so I have basically replaced my textbook with this. I also included some texts and practice sheets to help you teach various concepts. I also frequently use this resource in my small Tier II and Tier III intervention groups to introduce topics or practice topics.
