This year our class has adopted the Daily 5 model for learning. We have modified it to meet our needs...mostly because I am still a true believer in the workshop model. There is a reading/writing/ and phonics mini lesson each day and then the students have the opportunity to choose what round they want to work on. We have a reading share time and a writing share time set up so that students can talk about what they are working on during each activity. The daily 5 gives students the opportunity to choose what they are learning and when they want to learn it! The share time holds them accountable to their peers and to me! When you look around our classroom this is what you will see...
Nadia, Stella and Sasha working collaboratively to write their own children's book. They are hoping to submit it to the scholastic competition!
Ava curled up with a beanie baby and a book for her read to self time.
Reece and Diego making making words with the "chictionary" AP during word work.
Anthony playing teacher calling out words for Jackson and Gavin to spell with magnetic letters...I tried to be sneaky but they saw me!
Nik is researching bears for his read to self time...taking notes in his science journal!
Sophia and Xan snuggled up with fluffy pillows lost in their books.
Preston reading quietly with his frog pillow.
Jacob stamping out his spelling words and making sentences out of them.
Ryan shopping for new books and Mackenzie finishing up her Magic Tree House book she has been reading all week.
Luke and I having a reading conference together...chatting about his new goals!
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peak of how our classroom runs itself! I love watching these kids grow and learn while being so engaged in what they are doing!
