5th Graders use Explain Everything and QR Codes to share their study of Animal Biomes in Science.

5th Graders use SeeSaw to Share their Fluency

Students record themselves for 1 minute reading a Cold Read selection. They listen to themselves and then reflect on their fluency based on their grade-level benchmarks. They can create slides in Explain Everything, Google Slides, or Keynote with their statements and recording. Then, teachers can request to have them shared on SeeSaw so they have that feedback to guide instruction.

Reading Fluency Practice | Google Docs & Voice Recording

After listening to an audio clip of a story, students practiced the target skills of intonation and accuracy. Students used Vocaroo to record themselves reading a poem and then pasted the link to this recording into a shared Google Document. Afterwards, they listened to a partner's recording and left feedback. The following focus questions were posted for consideration when listening to give feedback: Did they pause at punctuation? Stress important words? Read at a good rate? Were they accurate?

Vocabulary | Google Classroom & Docs

5th grade students at Tualatin Elementary School get extra practice with vocabulary through Google Classroom & Docs. Teachers create a vocabulary document with appropriate images and kid-friendly definitions & post it to Google Classroom. (Teachers prioritize the Tier 2 words and put them at the top.) The students use a copy of this document to write a story that includes the vocabulary. (The vocabulary is posted on the wall in the classroom as well.)
