I am just writing to check in with everyone on the IPad Mini adventures in my world. I have discovered some great apps for Grade 5, I think.
- Thought I'd share this link to TWO WRITING TEACHERS. I know you probably have
your routines in place for the year with Daily 5, but you might find this
interesting. It is an article that uses the App Evernote in Writer's Workshop!

- I also discovered a great free mathematical thinking app called "5 Dice." It is developed by a teacher named Justin Holladay. He also offers a course for teachers to create their own apps, at http://teachercreatedapps.com/.
- Here are more games that he created, just haven't had time to look into them at all.
- 5 Dice: Order of Operations Game
- Grid Lines: Ordered Pair Game
- Ordered Fractions: Comparing & Ordering Fractions
- 4 Dice: Fraction Games
- Tangram Chess
- I also like another free math app called "Thinking Blocks: Model and Solve Word Problems. Kids have to think about the parts of word problems and build models that will help them to solve them.
