Interview with the Notebooking Fairy…

July 10, 2012 by Paige Hudson

The Notebooking Fairy -- printables and how-tos with a pinch of pixie dust I have been a fan of Jimmie’s for years and have used several of her notebooking pages from the Notebooking Fairy in our homeschool. So, when she asked if she could interview me about how we use notebooking in Elemental Science, I jumped at the chance.

Here’s how the interview began…

Paige, why does Elemental Science include notebooking?

I have always been a fan of notebooking as a method of recording narrations because they are an excellent way of engaging your students with the information they are learning.  After all, in notebooking the students are not merely regurgitating facts; they are thinking over what they have read or heard and are responding with what they found to be meaningful.

    It was great to get to learn how you see notebooking. It’s such an integral part of Elemental Science that you know I’m a fan! Anything that relies on living books and notebooking gets my seal of approval.

Welcome to the Elemental Blogging Laboratory

 
profile picWelcome to the Elemental Blogging Laboratory, a.k.a. the Eb Lab. Here at the lab, I have the pleasure of sharing with you all my passion for mixing up solutions for homeschool science! My name is Paige Hudson. I am a homeschooling mom and science curriculum writer for Elemental Science.
 
Why do I call this blog the "Eb Lab"? It is because I am scientist at heart and by profession, so it pretty much spills into everything I do. I love to share tips and tools with fellow educators as they seek to share science with their students!
 
That is what this blog is all about. One homeschooler to another, sharing her area of expertise, seeking to support you as you teach your students about the wonders of science.
 
So, grab your lab coat, notebook, and goggles...well maybe not the goggles because let's face it nobody looks good in those...and you probably don't have a lab coat lying around your house either...
 
So, grab a cup of coffee and notebook, and head on in to the Eb Lab to gather tools for homeschool science, tips for homeschooling, and the latest Elemental Science news!
