Daily 5 in Action!

This morning we practiced doing the Daily 5 activities.  Students worked on different activities at the same time.  We are trying to build our stamina so that we can work independently for 12-15 minutes at a time.  I was so proud of everyone!  They could all stay on task, work quietly and everyone knew what to do!  Next week we will start our Reading Groups.  I will work with a small group of 4 or 5 students while the rest of the class works on Daily 5 activities.  I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
