Hello Fifth

Help your readers stay on track with this weekly reading log. We use this as homework but it could easily be used in the classroom as well. Students track their daily reading, including title, time spent reading, and pages read. On the back, there is space for a text response.

This is a great way to compile a list of Greek and Latin roots as you learn OR provide space for a study guide. It includes space for the root, the meaning, the origin, and two examples.

Get your students thinking critically by having them design the apps that might be found on their character's phone! This is such a fun activity to complete as you read a novel or even as a culminating activity once a book has been read. You can use this for historical figures, characters from novels, or even tied in with current events. I have my students cut these out and share with classmates!

Get your students ready to enjoy the Jerry Spinelli's novel, Maniac Magee, by having them explore four different stations. Through the lens of the GATE icons, students will get thinking about issues that affect society today, just as it did back when Maniac ran around Two Mills, Pennsylvania. As students rotate through the stations, they can take notes on the icon frame (included). Access to a device that can scan QR codes is required. Thank you for downloading!
