#TeamAwesome has noticed what they do well as readers & are doing it even better today! 5th graders…
✅ pay close attention to details
✅ make mental movies of what they read
✅ notice changes in characters emotions

When you want to recognize when students are doing something correctly, try saying “I notice” instead of “I like.”

Excited to explore this resource and implement “Researcher’s Workshop” with #TeamAwesome this year! My favorite section so far… collaboration! #FISDLearns #OurAllenLegacy #FISDMadeToShine @allenelem

5th grade partnerships are STRONG!💪🏼 Students practiced giving feedback in a kind voice & keeping the conversation going for the entirety of the share #FISDMadeToShine #OurAllenLegacy #TeamAwesome @allenelem

5th graders @allenelem are recommending books to each other and creating reviews on a class @padlet. What a great way to get students interested in more books! @ThornellsClass #OurAllenLegacy #FISDmadetoshine #FISDliteracy

What a ✨magical✨week in 5th grade! Students visited @AllenLibrarian, selected their “just right” texts, read independently, and established classroom systems & partnerships to enhance their reading lives 📚🤍 @allenelem #FISDmadetoahine #OurAllenLegacy #TeamAwesome

@allenelem 5th graders collaborated, debated, and ultimately agreed on 4 classroom expectations (with explanation) that will help them all to achieve their hopes & dreams for the year ✨ #FISDmadetoshine #OurAllenLegacy #TeamAwesome

5th graders read about Waterhouse Hawkins and his dreams of sharing the image of 🦕🦖 with the world. Then, they determined their own hopes & dreams for the year and set both academic and social goals to get them there #OurAllenLegacy #TeamAwesome @allenelem
