Take Note! We Take Notes.

How to take notes is an important skill learned in the Intermediate Division and Middle School. There are a variety of ways students practice note-taking; here are a few from this quarter!

As fourth grade prepared for their regions project, they had to take notes on the facts and information they learned. Here, Evangeline (above) and Jordyn (top left) use books along with their iPads to research landforms. Their notes were entered into a packet that they then referenced when they created their regions project!

In fifth grade, they learned about a specific style of note-taking: Cornell style. Mrs. Olson set up the projector notes Cornell style (first photo), and the students used that t-chart format to take notes on (second photo).

Sometimes, notes are on new topics, and sometimes, notes are on observations! Here, sixth graders write down their observations from a soil lab experiment. Later, they will use those notes to formulate conclusions and plan future study!

In 7th grade recently, they reviewed the types of adverbs. They took notes on whiteboards, which allows for mistakes to be easily corrected, leading to more learning!

At Oakhill, teachers use multiple methods of teaching, and student experience multiple modes of learning, leading to strong, confident students!
