In My Own Classroom:

I've been using these note taking trifolds a lot with my 5th graders this year. They make it easy to hold students accountable for their reading and research and the kids really enjoy them. Suddenly my students are writing smaller to fit more info in! Plus, when we're ready to write, even if we've already returned our library books, the kids have all their work captured in one well-organized space.
