We have self-assessed our writing to edit and grow our informational pieces on the Great Depression. Students will be excited to share their pieces with one another on Monday and provide feedback to peers! #WritingChecklists #LearningProgression corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/W…

Writers viewed their peer’s informational pieces and provided valuable feedback. Peer-to-Peer sharing is crucial allowing for authentic audiences, better feedback, and share time to validate our efforts. #writingworkshop

Reading Passion Projects have been a wonderful culminating extension project for our nonfiction unit! We are excited to share these next week!

Loving these reading passion projects! Students are too!! 😍😍😍 #learningcontracts #personalizedlearning

Deep into our passion project research!

Primary sources are our jam! Let’s make some observations and figure out WWII propaganda! Image inferences are super useful for student learning. Thank you GaDOE_SocialStudies for these resources.

We LOVED learning from Stuff You Should Know about Navajo Code Talkers! It fit perfectly with GaDOE_SocialStudies WWII standards. Students were amazed with everything they could learn from listening, the Navajo language, and treatment of these people. #authenticlearning Emily Childs Caitlin Sabers

Our current problem: “How can we, as citizens, finish a task effectively within a time limit?” Today we imagined; tomorrow plan (focus-our 45 minute writing test)

We are answering “How does the unequal treatment of a group of people lead to conflict?” Ss read this Piktochart infograph about the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party to help them answer in essay format. #integration Ms. Childs Class @rawls_WES Elizabeth Sapp

We start reading this next week with our TCRWP reading unit of study! 😍 It is a teacher and student favorite! Thank you creating Kek and his story.

All the writing stamina 😍😍😍 #writingworkshop We are still focusing on our EDP for effectively completing a task within a time limit. Guess what?! We keep improving! #engineeringdesignprocess #studentsatwork

Our writers were on 🔥 this week!

For the 4th month in a row, we are the ClassDojo leaders for 5th grade Woodland ES! 🎉 👏🏽 Caitlin Sabers #bestclassever

We loved having FCS Teaching Museum visits this week surrounding the Great Depression! Ss were highly engaged with primary sources, improvisation, and diary entries as if they lived through the Great Depression!

We had a very special and exciting PRIDE party with a zoologist today! Kids were able to experience and touch all kinds of animals and insects! 🐇🦎🐍🐢🕷#aWESome #WoodlandPRIDE @WESWildcat

What does is take to make an effective JOT? Students analyzed other student work to look for author craft moves. #chalktalk #craftmoves #mentortext

I’ve decided to move all of my tweets to Emily Childs. I will no longer to using the handle Ms. Childs Class. Refocusing on the content shared. 😊 #PSA
