The Smart Boards are set up for completion in an Interactive Notebook, but can also be completed within a normal notebook. (If you need help with Interactive Notebooks, check out my store!!!!!! I have many different items explaining how to use, make, and build these items for your class. You will not regret it and your students will love it.)
