Duly Noted

Note cards! The kids need note cards by Tuesday morning. Most of them already have note cards in their desk; they came with the kit at the start of the school year. I'm going to talk to the kids that day about taking their notes, writing down the bibliography cards, and then transferring the information onto the note cards. Here's the thing they always tend to struggle with: putting only one piece of information on each note card. There is a method to this madness, though, as the children will find out very soon.

While speaking of this project, I always tell the kids: One deadline at a time. It's like eating an elephant. One bite at a time.
