Daily 5

Daily 5 is a large part of our Language Arts program.  Our students have quickly learned how to make good use of their time to work on 5 activities.  You may have heard them talk about one of the five activities:
- Read to Self
- Read to Someone
- Word Work
- Work on Writing
- Listen to Reading
Now that they have become independent at these for short periods, they will be able to choose which activity they work on each day but will be monitored to be sure that all are covered over the course of 6 days.
While the students are independently working, the teacher is listening and teaching reading strategies to small groups or individual students.
We invite parents to volunteer to help us during these morning activities.  Feel free, even if just once, to sign up to come join us and help us become better readers and writers.
