The Daily 5 
Our reading instruction will be taught through 3 daily mini-lessons separated by Daily 5 literacy centers. This model helps kids to remain focussed on learning while allowing them choice in which centers they wish to complete each week.
Read to Self |  
Read with Buddy | 
Work on Words | 
Work on Writing | 
Free Choice | | Students read self-selected books on their reading level. While reading, students use stickie notes to show evidence of active reading strategies. | Students read appropriately leveled books with a buddy. After each page, they use questioning rings to quiz eachother and ensure comprehension. | Students complete vocabulary activities such as a minidictionary or a word web. | Students write a journal response to high-interest photographs. They also write a reflection letter or blog each week to share their reading.
| If students complete all their required D5 work for the week, they have the opportunity to go to the free choice menu to continue extending their knowledge. |
