by fifth grade newbie

Jul 18, 2011

I have been in the lower grades my entire career(11 years). This year I will be in fifth grade and REALLY nervous. I can jump into a first or second grade classroom and the ideas are endless. Having a child myself that just finished fifth grade, I know that this will be a completely different kind of year! I want to give these kids a year like none...See More

Julie Fifth graders would probably like themes like rock stars, planet of the fifth graders (a teacher at my school did this with the solar system), magic/wizardry, pirates. My classroom's theme is America to tie in with fifth grade social studies (American History).

ny/5 I would say, no, it's not necessary to come up with a theme, but you can if you want to. My room is decorated with things they need to see in order to be successful: maps, cursive handwriting, word wall of new vocabulary, decimal squares (tenths, hundredths, thousandths), Posters on "How to Select a Book that is Just Right for You", motivational po...See More

Reading Workshop Helps Students Love Reading

by Francie

Jul 19, 2011

Reading Workshop is a way to make reading fun for your students. For years my classroom library bookshelves were untouched. I just could not get my students to open one of my books. I had class sets of books, so we read various novels at home, and I tested them for comprehension, but the love of reading just was not there.

Then I tried Re...See More

Timed Multiplication Tests

by Julie

Jul 19, 2011

Hello everyone! This year I will be teaching fifth grade after having taught first for a few years. I want to give my students timed multiplication tests, but I'm not sure what an appropriate benchmark would be. I was thinking they should be able to solve 50 problems in 1 minute with 80% accuracy in order to pass. Would any of you be willing to sha...See More

TLC 3seconds per fact = 100 facts in 5 minutes with 100% accuracy. IMHO 50 facts in one minute is not enough time for students to write the answers.

Has anyone used Writers Workshop The Essential Guide by Ralph Fletcher? Pros? Cons?

judy5ca It's a GREAT book if you're new to the writer's workshop structure and philosophy. Basic. Couple that with his Craft Lessons (and Nonfiction Craft Lessons) and you'd be all set for your first year of WW. Good luck, Judy
