Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a communication notebook, and more particularly to a communication notebook for communicating among students, school teachers, and the families of the students.
Background Art
[0002] In primary schools, when a student is enrolled in a special needs class, it is necessary to contact two teachers, one class teacher and one special needs class support teacher, from the family. Since the number of teachers is small, it is possible to contact the family without any problems. However, in junior high schools, subject-based class teacher system is adopted, and the class teachers are different for each subject. Therefore, when making inquiries from the family, it is necessary to confirm with the teachers (9 people) of 9 subjects (Japanese, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, English, Music, Art, Home Economics and Technology, Physical Education) and the teacher of the support group (1 person). For a 5-period class, it is necessary to target 5 teachers and 1 teacher of the support group, and for a 6-period class, it is necessary to target 6 teachers and 1 teacher of the support group. ▲1▼ Daily confirmation (class content, belongings, homework) ▲2▼ Test confirmation (mid-term test, final test) ▲3▼ It is necessary to make various confirmations and contacts from the family, such as school events (excursions, sports meets, overnight study). In addition, in schools, there are also teachers' schedules such as club activities, business trips, and meetings outside of classes. There is a problem that it is difficult to contact a large number of teachers both in terms of the number and time for daily confirmation work from the family.
[0003] When a child is enrolled in a special needs class in junior high school and has an autism spectrum disorder (medical record A) or a language level of about 2 years old, it is difficult to communicate conversationally, and it is difficult to make seamless contacts not only about school classes but also about school life (accidents, injuries, illnesses, bullying and troubles).

[0013] The third space is for the teacher of the aforementioned school to be listed, and also includes a section for notes from the family, with multiple horizontal lines indicating the purpose of the notes. Additionally, a square box (5) may be provided as a check box to indicate that the information has been reviewed. In the second space, you may write directly with a writing instrument, or you may use Post-it notes (a registered trademark of 3M Company). Using Post-it notes allows you to stack them, expanding the writing space, and the ability to use different colors makes it easy to visually identify which subject the message pertains to.
[0014] The junior high school curriculum consists of nine subjects: Japanese language, mathematics, social studies, science, English, music, art, home economics / technology, and physical education. Each subject is taught by a specialist teacher, and there is also one support teacher, making a total of 10 teachers. This communication notebook is handled by the support teacher and is used as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
[0015] By using the notebook of this invention, when making inquiries from home, inquiries can be made to the teachers (9 people) of 9 subjects (Japanese, mathematics, social studies, science, English, music, art, home economics / technology, physical education) and the teacher of the support group (1 person).
