Great resource to use with fifth grade students.
I do think the beginning of the year should be some review from last year. A lot of my students weren't ready to jump into division the first weeks of school.
I love this resource and think it covers many important reading skills. The articles are well-written and cover a wide variety of topics and interests. A great deal of time and thought were put into creating this resource. The one thing I would change is to include other types of questions instead of all short-answer. Our state test does not have any short answer questions, and being able to answer other types of questions is really an important to practice. Plus, in 3rd grade, writing out all the answers can become a bit daunting. Multiple-choice, true and false, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions would not only help students practice an essential test-taking skill but also save time on both completing and correcting the work.
I would love to see an updated version of this resource someday with other types of questions besides short answer.
I love doodle notes! They make boring notes a lot more engaging and scaffold all learners!
A great resource to prompt deeper thinking. My students enjoyed the activities.
