Daily 5 - Hard at work!

For the past month the students have been working hard at implementing the Daily 5 into our ELA routines. The Daily 5 are a great wait to gain independence while enjoying the choice to choose our activity in our learning.
The Daily 5 are :

Read to Self (sitting in a comfortable position, reading in our heads, head in our books)

Read to Someone - Sitting EEKK (elbow to elbow and knee to knee) we read together while whispering to one another.

Listening Centre - At the listening centre, we choose a book and listen to the story no more than 3 at a time.

Writing - Free writing in our journals. What ever our hearts desire we can write about it and draw in our English journals.

Word Work - This is a great time to practice our word families and spelling words for the week. We can work with a friend using the small white boards, we can use the magnetic letters, etc. 

And just for fun, we've added a 6th routine, which is Reading with Mme. In a group setting, we sit and work on different parts of reading. Currently we are focusing on fluidity in our reading and understanding what we read.
