This time last
year, I was a fifth year teacher who had just moved from second grade to fifth
grade. Everything, from the content to the new age of my students, made me feel
like a brand-new, first year teacher all over again.

I was clinging
to the advice of my colleagues and social media teacher connections to help me get my feet set on the ground in my new role as a 5th grade ELA and
Social Studies teacher. One night, I was participating in a Twitter chat when someone shared
about a cool technology tool that they were using in their classroom to help
share content in an interesting way. The amazing tech tool was Flocabulary.

without it! If you are not familiar with what Flocabulary is, you can check out

Flocabulary has
over 750 videos. Folks, that is a lot of amazing content that can cover pretty much
any topic you can think of! We use the videos to work on Point of View, Main
Idea, Complex Sentences, The Civil War, The Gilded Age, Weekly Current
Events…..and so, so much more.

We like to put
movements to the videos to help us attach even more meaning to the videos and
the educational content found within the raps. Here is a quick clip of our
Point of View rap. I LOVE how students remember the lyrics and are able to
apply the information gained from these videos!

One of our
favorite lessons this year was when my students used the Flocabulary Lyric Lab
to help them write their own rap about pronouns. The students were AMAZING and
truly created the rap on their own! I was such a proud teacher. Here is a quick clip of one of my kiddos
performing the rap.

I love that I
