Five on Friday

1.  Gail and I have access to hundreds of Breakouts.  The digital versions would be a great anchor activity.  Try posting this one and see if your students can work together to stop the bug take-over!  The links can also be posted in a Google Classroom and would make a great lab activity for students while you are working with others in a small group.  If you don't think you can fit a hands on Breakout into your schedule, ask us about a digital version!

2. Here is a Google tip for you!  Check out Google's Remote for Slides.  You can get it from the Chrome Web Store.  Once installed, this extension allows you to control your Google Slide Show from your phone or tablet.!  This is another way to cut the tether between you and the computer and allow you to walk around and interact with your students during a whole group lesson.

3.  ReadWorks is an amazing site that allows you to find articles based on subject, Lexile, and/or grade level. There is the option to print these articles or you can create a class and assign these articles to students. Students can use their Google account to sign in.  The best thing about this site is that it is FREE!!

4.  This week's resource came from Gail Moore.  She did a variety of choice boards for a Differentiation Workshop at one of Summer Tech Academies a few years back.  This one is adding and subtracting fractions.  Please let me know if you would like help on creating your own choice board or if you would like to see more examples.  You can click the link above or click on the image to open the resource.  Once you open it  you will need to go to File->Make a Copy in order to edit this document.

5.  Friday at the Movies - I thought that you may need some inspiration.  We have had so much time off and getting back into the swing of things may be hard.  Just remember, you are needed!!!  You are important!

Bonus

Each week from now until the end of school, I plan to share one coding challenge.  These are best for 2-5 grades.  This first is the easiest.  Let me know if you have any questions.  To access the challenge, click on the image above and then go to File -> Make a Copy.  Once you have made your own copy, you can post it to a Google Classroom for your students to access.
