Jordan from Princeton, NJ. Been teaching 5th since 2002. #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:02 PM EDT

I agree; 5th graders start to really see what they can do as learners! #5thchat

Hi everyone! Jon, a 5th grade teacher from Iowa. #5thchat

yenneam Aug 29 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: My Ss have been together for 2 yrs in the same group so no icebreakers. We did @flipgrid instead! #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1) My favorite icebreaker i my 5th grade class was having my students make the rules for the class. We had a blast - many laughs! #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Hi Jon! Welcome #5thchat

A1. Two truths. Students write two truths and a false statement about themselves and class figures out the false statement. #5thchat

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Spend a lot of time in first few days getting to know one another...#5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

That’s pretty cool; it is because of size of because it was planned that way? #5thchat

In reply to @yenneam, @Flipgrid

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:09 PM EDT

This is a great icebreaker as well. You get to hear some real whoppers! #5thchat

That’s the most important part. If we don’t get to know our kids, how can we truly learn? #5thchat

In reply to @Mr_Ullman

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:11 PM EDT

How great is that?! You get to reflect all year long! #5thchat

In reply to @yenneam

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2) Are you still using a 'Do-Now' / 'bell ringer' in your lessons? If so, what are some of your go-to's for 5th graders? #5thchat

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

One of the biggest elements of my classroom. If Ss know each other as people, makes for a closer classroom community. #5thchat

Hi, Nicole from Queensbury, NY. We play snowball fight, write something about yourself on paper, crumple up, throw and find who #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

It certainly does. Everyone seeing each other as ‘normal’ opens so many doors in and out of the classroom. #5thchat

iowajonhuebner Aug 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3.I like having them just turn the camera on themselves and just share their thoughts or thinking. A great formative assessment! #5thchat

I am not familiar with either but will be starting tomorrow!! #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:25 PM EDT

I’m seeing this more and more; I see it as beneficial since these students will be subjected to this 24/7 due to social media. #5thchat

YandellsPlace Aug 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Thoughts about this idea using @Flipgrid and literature circles?? Is it too much? Am I missing something?#kidsdesereveit #learnlap #5thchat

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3 So many to choose from...@padlet and @Flipgrid to share learning; @Socrative for quick quizzes...#5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

I worked in a district where @sumdog was THE game to play, all day, every day! Glad to see others using it! #mathchat #5thchat

In reply to @iowajonhuebner, @sumdog

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:27 PM EDT

The sky is the limit right now. Why not give it a shot? Your students will thank you. #5thchat

In reply to @YandellsPlace, @Flipgrid

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Used to use @frontrow. Switched to @ProdigyGame last year; kids went nuts for it. Couldn't get enough. #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:28 PM EDT

I love a good @padlet. So many uses with it. #5thchat

In reply to @Mr_Ullman, @padlet, @Flipgrid, @Socrative, @padlet

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

You’re the second person to mention Prodigy - It’s on my list tomorrow. #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Q4) If you could give TWO online resources that teachers could use all year in 5th grade, what would they be? #5thchat

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4 One is @seesaw, for sure. #5thchat. Google classroom, also!

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

98% of 5th grade classes rotate subjects / teachers in the year. If you are a singleton teacher, how do you prepare your lessons? #5thchat

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

I’ve had trouble with SeeSaw in the past. Perhaps worth a second look? #5thchat

In reply to @Mr_Ullman, @Seesaw

yenneam Aug 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: @schoology - I'd have difficult time teaching without a solid LMS. @educreations for flipping targeted content. #5thchat

shammanaj Aug 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 Joining late: has anyone mentioned @Readworks Digital or @TenMarks? Two of my favorites #5thchat

Mr_Ullman Aug 29 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Definitely. Has been the best way for me to facilitate conferences, and also ways for students to reflect on work and progress. #5thchat

In reply to @Jay_Eitner, @Seesaw

Jay_Eitner Aug 29 @ 8:34 PM EDT

We haven’t but you just did. Welcome! #5thchat

Q6) 5th graders also love challenges. In what ways are you planning to push your Ss to be rockstars? When is pushing too much? #5thchat

Both free. @TenMarks has a premium version but I use the free one. #5thchat

In reply to @MrsEnnyTully, @ReadWorks, @TenMarks, @TenMarks
