Hey y'all! It's October 5th, which means it's time for Five on the Fifth again.
There are so many great blogs out there, and let's be honest, September is a bit of a blur for teachers. Here are five great posts that you might have missed in that back to school haze. There's even a Five on the Fifth Pinterest board if you want to see more great ideas.
First up is the first in a series from Teaching Maddeness called Maximizing the Minutes. Amanda shares how she very quickly reviews high frequency words and reviews skills in a fast warm up. Every minutes counts and this series will help you do just that!
Melissa from Inspire Me, ASAP! has a great fact and opinion lesson (that would also be great for inferencing!) She practiced with this photo, and then connected the lesson to a mentor text. Hop on over to read just how she did this.
I love how Ashleigh from Ashleigh's Education Journey got her kids working on multiplication word problems. Engaging, higher level thinking, and low prep. Everything you want for a great lesson!
Holy smokes this is a good blog post. Cara from The First Grade Parade dives down deep into the guts of small group instruction. It's a loooong post and worth every minute you'll spend reading it.
Bonus! Rachel from The Tattooed Teacher shared this super cute freebie at Owl-Ways be Inspired. Hope you have a fang-tastic day today!
