Volume 2 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 2 mentor sentences) are now updated!
www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Language-Arts-Notebook-Vol-2-Bundle-Grades-3-5-Fo...

If you own them, make sure to re-download from wherever you purchased - whether it's on TPT, if you purchased through the course, or in the shop on my website.

These interactive notebooks have taken a lot longer to update as every activity has had to be completely remade to work digitally. Thank you for your patience!

In case you missed the last announcement, Volume 1 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 1 mentor sentences) have also been updated, and Volume 3 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 3 mentor sentences) will be done by the end of the week! (Just the Basics will also get updated at the end of the week once Volume 3 is completed.)

As most of you know by now, I am pregnant and our baby girl could come any day. If for some reason Volume 3 doesn't get updated this week, that would be the likely reason why. 😉

I will be taking some time away from creation when she is born, so at this point (other than what I've listed above), I've updated as much as I can for you to be digital, and that will be all that happens for a while. I appreciate your understanding!

If you aren't sure if something you own has been updated, before asking in a Q&A, since my replies will likely be delayed, my best advice for you is to RE-DOWNLOAD and then check the table of contents of the new files!! 😘 ... See MoreSee Less
