With my students being both new to the United States and English, I need a way to grab their attention and keep them focused. Studies show that color stimulates the brain, which is why I use lots of it to help new vocabulary "stick".
Our interactive notebooks use colored paper, a variety of vibrant envelopes, uniquely designed pockets, and colored pencils.
