Daily 5 in Action

We are practicing WORK ON WRITING currently! Check it out!

1st Day of 2nd Grade

We survived the first day of 2nd grade....YAY! It was a LONG day full of rules, procedures, and expectations. However, through all of the day, I was continually reminded of how blessed I am to have these darlings in my class. We have already gotten some laughter in our day. We also started our DAILY 5 program, and introduced READ TO SELF. We made a chart, and began practicing today. Enjoy these cute pictures.

Daily 5- Read to Self

We've been working extra hard on the Daily 5- Read to Self! We've been practicing all of the rules from our I-Charts (Independence charts) and I thought it was so aweosme....I had to capture some "reading to self" in action. Enjoy!

Also, ask your child what it means to be independent? And, ask them what STAMINA is! (If they need a hint...remind them that we have been building our STAMINA during Read to Self.)

Read to Someone

The next Daily that we launched this week was READ to SOMEONE. This is basically a time during the day that the students are to pick a spot in the room, find a partner, and read outloud the same selection- taking turns reading. This is a fun time, but educational too! The students become more confident and proud readers. They did really awesome this week, reading to someone!

Daily 5's "Read to Self"

We have been practicing the Daily 5, and we love it so far! This week, we have been working on READ to SELF. We created our I-charts, built stamina, and have really been working hard on becoming a great reader! So much fun!

These 1st graders really have it goin' on!
