5th Grade Interactive Whiteboard

Test out this top rated digital resource! Are you looking for a digital alternative to the daily language reviews that you used in your 4th grade Google Classroom? Or maybe you need interactive language arts task cards to use for distance learning ELAR centers? Click and go morning work? Or just a quick assessment? Whatever the need, this 20-day set of digital daily language mixed-skill task cards will do the trick! That’s 4 full weeks. These daily language practice cards work with PowerPoint for Microsoft Teams and Google Slides for Google Classroom. The cards have interactive pieces that students can click and drag to boost student engagement.

These daily language practice activities are aligned to 4th grade standards, but work great for remediation for struggling older students, reteaching from the summer or COVID-19 slide, challenging gifted younger students, or differentiation within grade level. Skills include capitalization, punctuation, spelling, plural nouns with spelling rule changes, verb tenses, compound words, contractions, abbreviations, analogy, figurative language, multiple-meaning words, homophones, synonyms and antonyms, context clues, parts of speech, sentence types, and alphabetical order. Answer keys are also included in the paid resources.

To Use as a Digital ELAR Center

Upload the card for the day to your digital classroom as an assignment. As you finish a lesson and break out to meet with a smaller group, have others complete the daily practice as an independent activity.

To Use as Task Cards

Upload the whole deck of cards to your digital classroom and have students work through the cards together, in groups, or independently to review the concepts.

To Use as Assessment

These cards are great for quick assessments to gauge student understanding with just a few questions can implement intervention if needed before moving on to the next topic.

To Use as Bell Ringers

Use these as a morning greeting on your whiteboard to get students engaged language thinking first thing in the morning.

This is a freebie for you!

This game of "Four Corners" is not new or unique; however, this one will work great for your middle schoolers who need to get up and move, and you'll find they are more apt to share without raising their hands or writing it down. This quick and easy, no prep and no printing activity will allow you to truly get to know them on a personal level very quickly.

It's HIGHLY visual so this could even fly in a Core French classroom (Grades 5 - 9); however, I use it in an immersion setting (Grades 5 and 6). It could comfortably be used in any Immersion or French first-language classroom (Grades 3 - 9). As with all of my products, it's not at all babyish and doesn't feature fonts that are frilly or hard-to-read.

For this activity, simply project and GO. I let my students know that they will have to choose their response and move to the corner of the room that suits their answer. You can either click through the slides, have a student touch your SmartBoard to move them along, or you can use a remote clicker or mouse (I do while I'm playing!) to keep the slides rolling.

This Google Slide Deck features :

• 29 pre-created, non-modifiable question slides with 4 options to choose from.
• A template for you to use if you'd like to add in your own questions at the end of the presentation.

Other ways to play:

• I've also allowed students independently to each create a slide and add it into the mix on day 2! Should you choose this option, simply copy the last slide into a Google Slide (11" x 8.5") and share a copy to each student in Google Classroom. Let the magic begin!
• You can choose to extend this activity by having your students huddled in their corners chat about their preferences, or share with the whole group. You can also (I do!!) play WITH them and get to know your students based on these small conversations in the "corners" of your classroom.

I hope you have a G R E A T back-to-school, and hope your kids love you! I sure appreciate all of you!

Don't forget to have fun and be real!
