Mrs. Bingham | 5th Grade Reading and ELA | Decision Making
Decision-making isn’t just about choosing between A and B. It’s about critical thinking, emotional regulation, values, priorities, and the courage to take responsibility. In an age where choices come faster than ever—online, offline, in classrooms and in relationships—helping students develop sound decision-making skills is not optional. It’s essential. Nurturing analytical thinking does more than just boost students’ academic prowess; it equips them with the skills to make thoughtful, informed choices in various facets.

Mrs. Masters | 5th Grade Reading | Questioning Protocols
During a recent read-aloud of Crash, students engaged in purposeful questioning to deepen their understanding of the text. As we read, students paid close attention to the questions that naturally arose, helping them remain focused and actively engaged in the story.
We also examined question stems and discussed how different types of questions lead to different levels of thinking. Students learned that while some questions clarify basic understanding, others encourage deeper analysis, inference, and reflection. By intentionally using higher-level question stems, students were able to think more critically about characters, motivations, and events in the novel.
This strategy reinforced that asking thoughtful questions is an essential reading skill—one that builds curiosity, strengthens comprehension, and supports deeper cognitive engagement with complex texts.

Ms. Frazier | 5th Grade Reading | Overheard Quotes
This strategy engages students in listening to various ideas and drawing meaningful conclusions about the information. They are listening to their peers. They collect clues to figure out the topic. Each student was given an index card with a Christmas quote that had similar grammar mistakes. They read their card out loud to the class, they determined the mistakes and shared the conclusions with the class to decide the similar characteristics of each card. This activity went well and they enjoyed listening to their peers and figuring out the mistakes.
