#5thchat is for people interested in chatting about topics in education, especially as they relate to Grade 5. The goal is to connect people who enjoy learning & sharing, plus supporting & creating partnerships worldwide!
Welcome to #5thchat! I’m excited to collaborate with everybody on the topic of LIVE classrooms and it’s connection to #relationships. A LIVE classroom is a place where others can tune in live to experience the learning happening in your classroom. Let’s introduce ourselves!
Hi #5thchat! Tika from Las Vegas! I definitely suggest making positive relationships with support staff (office, teacher assistant, & custodial). #5thchat
Hello from Canada! Excellent suggestions. This past year we made an effort to connect with grandparents, step parents , and extended family members . It made such a difference in creating our classroom family . #5thchat
I ❤️this. One year my 4th graders adopted an assisted living home. We visited them & they came to us on their little bus. They helped make Thanksgiving dinner. It was the best! #Relationships#5thchat

Teachers from around the district and community members visit my classroom throughout the year. They interact with the kids and learn about purposeful discourse among Ss. My 5th graders have also shared their knowledge of metacognition and discourse at district level PD. #5thchat
This is beautiful! Creating a “family” is so crucial to everybody. I felt much more connected to my students when we learned about their families. #5thchat
A7 We invited our local firefighters to help us remember & understand the horrific events of 9/11. I have also had local dignitaries come to interact with Ss during our Famous NV project. #5thchat
Wow- very powerful. We have had the mayor tune into a live government lesson with us when his schedule was tight. Community members are usually very flexible. #5thchat
A9 T need to build a safe and growth mindset minded classroom. T also need to know content inside and have several strategies for purposeful engagement and metacognition. #5thchat
This year parents, grandparents ..etc ..were able to sign up to watch our classroom LIVE. The parents were thrilled , the grandparents were able to discuss their grandchild’s education, spilt families where one parent moved away were able to keep engaged . #5thchat
