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 - Identifying Key Details | Interactive Images

After reading the main selection, students selected an animal to use in creating their interactive image with ThingLink. They used the camera to create a video of themselves reading the key details, then used Photosforclass.com to find an image of their animal to upload, and typed their key details into ThingLink. The video they created earlier was then added as well.

Reading; Prefix | Google Docs & Voice Recording

Students picked one im- or in- word from a previous lesson. Using a teacher provided template in Google Docs, students built their word, wrote a sentence for the word, created an image using the Draw feature, and then recorded themselves using Vocaroo. Students then added the link to their recording into the Document.

Vocabulary | Google Docs & Voice Recording

Students accessed a Google Document that provided the top three vocabulary words - the "Big Dogs" and a student-friendly definition. Using the sentence frame that the teacher provided in the document, they created a "7-Up" sentence, recorded themselves reading the sentence in Vocaroo, and add the link to their recording to the document.
