Daily Five

We have been practicing several routines that reinforce various Language Arts concepts that we have learned. We call these routines the Daily Five. They are: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Word Work and Work on Writing.  The following pictures show students engaged in these activities.

Word Work - This student is spelling some of our "heart words"
using play dough.

Listen to Reading - Students follow the text by listening to a
story cassette.

Work on Writing - Students choose their own story topics. 
We have been working on adding lots of details to our
stories!

More Word Work - Students use letter stamps and stamp pads
to practice spelling word family words.

Read to Self - Students find their own spot in the room and
practice reading the "just right" books from their book
baskets. 

Read to Someone - Students take turns reading the books from their
book baskets to a partner.

More Word Work - This student is using stencils to practice
spelling words.
