This semester the primary teachers at my school are doing a book study of
The Daily Five. I read it two summers ago, and am looking forward to reading it again - and discussing it with my collegues. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, I do an I-Chart to help my Kinders while working in Stations, Skill Tubs, and other partner activites. I love it! They know just how to behave and what is expected of them as they work. We (my Kinder partners) do a variation of listen to reading, word work, and writing in our weekly Literacy Stations.
Here's the part where I would like some help: If you have any tips, ideas, thoughts, or links about implementing The Daily Five in kindergarten, I would
love to hear them! Please leave a comment, a link to your blog, etc. below. I am very excited to hear from my fellow Kinder Teachers. Thank You!
Making Daily 5 work for me in my classroom has been an ongoing project for me now for about 2 years. =) I've learned to just "tweak" it constantly to make it work for me. I love it! I've posted a few times on my blog about how I'm making the program work for me. However, due to an unfortunate technichal glitch many of my daily 5 pics are not viewable. Long story...but the info is still there. Good luck!
