Listen to Reading |
Using their book as a basis we developed and implemented our own Daily 5 program that suited our teaching and our learning space (44 students, 2 teachers and many parent helpers). We began this adventure mid year and each week when we got together to plan we were amazed at our students successes, independence and enthusiasm. Who said Preps (5 and 6 year olds) can't write or read independently for 30 minutes?
At the
end of last year, as it is at the end of every year, it was sad to say goodbye
to my students and my teaching buddy Paula, but I was extremely excited to
start the Daily 5 program with my new grade.

Along with Paula and I, a lot of
other teachers had dabbled in Daily 5 and my new grade had some understanding
of what the program is and how it works. One of my students on the first day of
school asked when were we doing Daily 5 and was disappointed when told not
until next week; I knew there and then that this was going to be great year!
