Excellent note only missing one thing

I love using this in class, it would be perfect if it included an exit ticket portion, I love the power point piece and how brightly colored it is i just feel as it would be more complete with the independent practice.

5th Grade Grammar Unit: Idioms, Adages & Proverbs
Hanging With Ms Humpert

Complete Resource

Almost everything you need to teach idioms, adages, and proverbs. It still left me with some questions about the clear differences between adages and proverbs, but it had plenty of examples to help me decipher the difference. Overall, I think this is a tricky standard, and this helped to clarify.

Would be great for an easily-engaged class!

I think that this resource would be awesome if you had kids who were easily bought into learning. I haven't used it yet because I worry that it will fall on deaf ears with my current group, but will be utilizing it eventually!

Math is Fun

I was looking more specifically for the place value riddles with decimals. Any of those or any in the future?

My apologies! I misunderstood. I do not currently have this, but I will consider this for a future set!

How are these digital? I cannot find the link on how to download the slides? Please advise. Thank you.
All they are to me is a pdf.
