Daily 5
We are spending a lot of time building our STAMINA for each Daily 5 Choice. We started with Read to Self and are gradually making progress. We added Work on Writing and our stamina has been growing with each day!
We have also learned how to make Good-Fit Book Choices, pick good reading spots and have added some Cafe Strategies to our Cafe Board like Check for Understanding, Recognizing Words at Sight and Back Up & Re-read. We LOVE Daily 5 time!!

Writer's Workshop
We are just now getting used to using our tools for writing and the writing process. The children are learning to sketch, label and then write for each piece. During this unit on Narratives we will focus on "small moments". These small moments are snapshots of parts of the children's life experiences. For example a child may want to write a small moment about going to the fair. The fair is a larger subject but one experience at the fair, such as riding the roller coaster, is a small moment. We will be teaching the children to focus in on these small moments and stretching them out into detailed stories.
Here are some snapshots of our beginnings:
