These are examples of different engaging beginnings/writing leads. It shows the difference between a week beginning and a great beginning. I attached it as a Power point so that each student can independently try each lead. You can also group students and assign them a different lead to share with the class. Then place the group/partner work on a bulletin board. Another option is to ask the class. “How can we make this even better?” and practice some revising and guided writing. New York State

The Grade 5 Problem of the Day Notebook slides were created to use as morning work or before a new lesson begins. All problems are conveniently located in one area to be used as needed. Since the word problems will be displayed on the smart board, important information can be underlined/highlighted and work can be solved for your class to see. You can also use this as a class game where students turn and talk/discuss before answering. It might be fun to do this at the end of the year after ever
