No, it's not a new dance! The Daily 5 is just a different way to deliver the Language Arts curriculum! It builds on the students' ability to choose how they want to learn. We are learning to be "experts" in each of the 5 choices.
This week we practiced "Word Work" and "Read to Self". Students choose what activity they would like to do first, second and third and spend just four minutes working at each activity. Eventually (when they are experts!) more time will be spent working independently.

Ms. Warren was so pleased and proud of their hard work and she knows they will be at "expert" status in no time!
Yippee! I am so proud of you boys and girls! I can't wait for you to learn the next choice in the daily 5! I knew you could do it! I'm so proud of you!
