I love books and can't wait to do novel studies! I am deciding which books to use as I probably will not have a class set. I love Anne of Green...
What does everyone use? I'm setting up my own room. I am colour coding the duatangs to match certain subjects. I found smaller white containers...
Thank you all so much! Since all of my kidlets have been taught handwriting, I'm not going to teach it. I will, however, offer a booklet for them...
Yay! I spoke to the teacher from the previous year and she has taught them cursive. She said both grades know it and that they would all write it....
I'm in a similar position... I know the room as I subbed in there. I just don't know what will be left there in the way of books. I have art stuff...
I was at my daughter's last day of school assembly. They were honouring a teacher who was retiring after 45 years. Some of her Grade 5 students...
Grade 5 curriculum here is crazy busy too! I do love it, though. I will see where they are at when school starts. I know several use script, so...
All excellent things to consider! I could do a review and offer booklets to students who are interested. Hmmm.... Decisions to be made! I will...
Excellent points to consider! I want to eliminate the "I'll be good if you give me this" issue. For my students, it's the ones who struggle that...
Good point! I am thinking some may already know how. If they really want to practice, I can give them a booklet. :-)
Grade 3 is when both of my girls learned cursive. Not all teachers teach it. I have been in Grade 6 classes where the kids didn't learn it. I will...
No apology needed. This made perfect sense! :-) I am thinking this might be a happy medium for me. I would not reward all the time, but...
Exactly!!! I'm torn! To be honest, I just think having little trinkets in the classroom is fun. And, I have so many items right now. I need to...
I forgot to mention I'm in Canada, so no requirement to write in cursive. In my class, students can print or use cursive. My only requirement is...
A debatable topic... One that I am curious about. I am deciding if I'm going to add a small amount of handwriting time for my 5/6 class this...
What are your thoughts on reward systems? I'm literally on the fence about it. I have seen some systems that are for fun while others are to...
It's so different here than in the states. I will be at an independent school so I need to keep a yearly overview. I don't have to stick with it...
Hello Grade 5 Teachers... I just accepted a 5/6 position for this fall. I have been subbing for awhile in Canada... Short term and longer...
I seem to be posting a lot these days! I am going to create a teacher website for my 5/6 class. I always struggle with naming websites. Any...
I like the number idea. I was in several classes where teachers did this and it was quite effective. I plan on colour coding the subjects by...
