Welcome to
the next installment of the Daily 5.
Sorry this post is late. I can’t
believe that this is my last week of school.
The countdown has begun and I think I have a million things to do
between now and then.
Remember: If you don't have the book yet, you can grab it here and catch up.
This week is
Chapter 5 and Chapter 6.
Now I haven’t
really done Daily 5 before so this is a huge chapter for me. I’m already thinking in my head what the
first day will be like (and I haven’t even finished this year yet.)
I really
like the idea of foundation lessons and one of the first ones is “3 ways to
read” a book.
I think it’s
so important that children know that they don’t have to be able to read every
word at the beginning.
They can
I’m going to
make this into a large chart to hang in the room. We are going to need a lot of practice in
order to build up our stamina for this.
Another
important lesson is
One of my favourite
things to do is to go to the bookstore and look for that “just right” book. I
could spend an hour or more looking at books.
I want my students to have the opportunity to pick those “just right”
books without feeling rushed. The sisters use the acronym “I PICK” to help
children remember how to pick that perfect book.
I would like
to find some time within the class schedule for the children to do that. Maybe at the beginning of the day? I have a ton of books in my class and want to
spend the summer organizing them so the children can access them better. I want them to be able to spend time looking and not feeling rushed.
Chapter 6
includes the foundation lessons for each of the Daily 5 sections.
One of the foundation lessons for
Read-to-someone is EEKK!
I can definitely
see my students loving this part of the program but I can also see needing a
lot of modelling so that the noise level does not get out of control (that’s
another lesson). I’m hoping that this
particular round will help with fluency.
