Stay in Parent mode — green boxes tell you what to say.
Child sees the picture, hears the line, then does the skill (not just watches). Fifth grade Story Studio is claim–evidence–reasoning with pictures — not Look/Say/Do for five-year-olds.
Then open Classroom for the scored quiz: Week 1 English.
You coach. They tap Next.
Story time · evidence
Evidence & citation
Fifth grade reads like a detective. Today’s English: Evidence & citation. Mark the claim. Quote two lines. Name one counterpoint.
Coach You say (parent) “Read the claim out loud. Now point to the two phrases that prove it. Feelings can sit in the room — they do not count as evidence.”
Math · models, not tricks
Decimal place value
Decimals and fractions are honest measurement. Today: Decimal place value. Draw the bar model, then write the equation.
Coach You say (parent) One worked example. Ten-second wait. They draw the model before they punch a calculator.
Science · CER
Matter is made of particles
Kitchen chemistry and design still need a lab notebook. Today: Matter is made of particles. Claim. Two measured facts. Reasoning.
Coach You say (parent) “What did you see?” then “What do you claim?” If they skip the measurement, the claim is a guess.
History · receipts
Early 1800s map
Who wrote it, when, and what they wanted. Today: Early 1800s map. Timeline first, slogan never.
Coach You say (parent) Ask ‘what happened first?’ Then one primary sentence — Library of Congress language at home.

Life Skills · 5th grade
Weekly planner
A habit you can photograph. Today: Weekly planner. Not a kindergarten name-practice loop.
Coach You say (parent) Child does the skill once for real. Then Classroom quiz.
Finish
Teach it back
Tell me one English move, one math move, and one science fact from this week.
You say (parent) If weak, reteach tomorrow. Then: Classroom math.
