Dear PlagueMonkey,

Thank you for uploading all the material that some of us can't access via Iscream.  I appreciate you help.

Two-sided worksheet for classes later on in the unit. I'm trusting that my co-teacher and I understood one another properly with the few translations. Should take 10-15 minutes for the average grade 5 student.

materials can be taken from last years books too

Here's what my CT and I did for the reading period. We made a PowerPoint picture book about the NET (me) waking up with a pair of socks on my head, and trying to figure out whose socks they are. The PowerPoint uses pictures of me and my CTs, so you'll probably want to make your own version with your own photos.

Here's how we ran our class:

1) Read the PowerPoint story, "Whose Socks Are These?" with the students. Read it a couple of times to help students understand/memorize the story.
2) Ask comprehension questions (e.g., "Whose socks are yellow?", "Whose socks are pink?")
3) Give each student a version of the story where each sentence is on a different slip of paper (The Excel document). The students will reassemble the story. When they are finished, the teacher will check it, and give them a blank piece of paper to glue the strips on to.
4) My co-teacher plans on using this as a script for role-play in her next class, so students who finish early will practice reading and memorizing the story with actions.

This requires a bit of preparation, but it turned out well and was worth it. ^^

This is a ladder game.

1. give 2 student 1 sheet.
2. writer their name on the bottom.
3. draw ladder line (10~15 line per one student is good)
4. hide ladder part. ( make 2 dotted line meet together.)
5. Rock scissor papper.
6. start from winner
7. first student select one(A) and ask(asking sentence is in the box)
8. unfold paper and go down with the ladder and second student answer(answer sentence is in the box)
 and get the point
9. second student selcet one(A) and do the same thing

Here is a powerpoint file I made for Period 2 (Story B) of Grade 5 Lesson 5.

- Textbook video and listen/repeat
- Practice for Is this/Are there
- Stand up game (Students are in groups of 4, when they get the question right they have 5 seconds to either stand up or stay seated. If the number of students standing matches the number on the screen, they lose that many points. If different, they win the number of points on the screen. Pretty simple and the kids enjoyed it.)

Here's a hidden picture game to match the vocab. Anything that evokes curiosity in a student seems to work :)

Here is a sentence scramble good for about ten minutes. Just cut em out, group them up and let them go at it.

I do team points, boys vs girls, so my teams are split into groups of girls and groups of boys. I have four teams sectioned into two sections. One group of boys vs One group of girls. Each section competes for a team point.

So at the end of the day, there is a total of two team points they could possibly win.
Works pretty well since the ultimate reward is moolah.

Also, here is a video I will use today for the lesson by adamthomasphotograp hy.com. Great videos, kids love em, and comes with subtitled/ no subtitle versions so you can get pretty flexible with the vids.

*edit*
sorry, it was mislabeled. It is a sentence scramble...not a word scramble

Simple coin flick game. Great for those reading periods!

My co teacher wanted to do a lot of reviewing of sections 1-5, so I thought I'd share my materials in this thread.  This is the PPT I used. I was going to have the students write their own dialogue (with a partner) using at least one sentence from each lesson (they could use the book, and any other handouts, for this assignment). However, we didn't have time. If you want to try this, I left the sample dialogues. I also marked what sentence comes from each lesson. I did this with my 6th graders too, and they came up with some very creative conversations!

A lot of my students still have a hard time spelling. At first, I didn't know how to practice spelling in a fun way... but then I remembered Hangman, and thought, "My kids can do that!" And THEY LOVED IT! So I am attaching my worksheet and PowerPoint. It also coordinates with the review. I chose words I consistently saw them misspell, so change it to whatever words your students struggle with.

How I used Hangman is mostly explained in the PPT- so I hope I made everything easy to understand. Let me know if you have questions. *Important things to remember are- 1) one student is score keeper (he's in charge of the paper and doesn't get a turn to guess until he is no longer scorekeeper). 2) No cheating! 3) Students must SPELL the word correctly, not just guess what it is.

Have them fold the handout at the line, to keep from cheating. I had them write their names on the back too, for easy score keeping. After each round, they just erase the board and start again. (I suppose once they get the hang of it they may draw on a separate piece of paper using their own words.)

Anyways, I'm writing to much...bye!
