Description
Why is coloring important in the classroom? Every human being expresses themselves differently, and many children are visual in nature. Coloring is a fertile vehicle for self-expression as children make color decisions and flesh out the boundaries of a coloring page, sheet or book Coloring is also calming and therapeutic for students, especially if they have no other outlet for unpleasant or confusing emotions. Even students who fall into the “normal” range of emotional health can benefit from processing their feelings, frustrations and emotions though the simple but profound act of coloring.
About Notebooking:
Notebooking is the coined term for what one may refer to as educational journaling or scrapbooking. Essentially, the idea is to create a compilation of what has been learned and experienced in any number of subjects or activities and organize it in a notebook (or binder). Notebooking is designed to capture the knowledge as well as personal reflections of what has been learned.
There are two primary essentials needed in creating a notebook. There is a visual component and a written component. These two components work together to convey what a student has learned from his/her lessons. Instead of filling in work- sheets or answering a list of discussion questions to test what a student has learned, you are giving him the opportunity to “show” and “tell” in a variety of ways what has been learned.
