4. Tabs
On the sixth page of your journal you will place a tab on the page titled “Natural Texas and Its People”
Every time we go over a new unit we will create a new tab.
Go to the back of your interactive journal. Count 10 pages from the back. On the 10th page place the second tab on the bottom of the page. Label that tab “TOOLS”

5. Tools
On the page that is tabbed “Tools” You will title that page TOOLS.
You can be creative and draw a picture that represents tools.
Turn the page. We will start to glue in the tools you will need to start the school year off.

6. Binding
On the binding we will scotch tape a long strip of ribbon. This will serve as a book mark.
We will then place duct tape on the binding of the interactive journal. Each class will have a designated color.

7. Name Plates You will each create a name plate for your desk.
You name must be large enough for us to read from the front of the class.
You may decorate your name plate.
Store your name plate in your interactive journal.
