Daily 5 first grade

If you’ve read my blog before, you probably know that I use a Daily 5 structure to organize our reading time. I love the freedom, choice, and time spent reading/writing it offers my students.

Take a look at how I set up my class and organize my stations for a successful start to Daily 5 in kindergarten.

In my school, we use daily 5 for reading instruction. I set up daily 5 a little bit different. I teach third grade and there is just so much to fit in! When I was trying to fit in all daily 5 rotations a day I was not getting to the important stuff and I was not having enough time with my students. So, I do one rotation a day for 20-30 minutes. The students do each rotations for daily 5 once a week and they meet with me once a week.

Word work in kindergarten, first grade, or even 2nd can be easy with these Daily 5 activities. Students use a variety of materials to work with words. Whether you are using this for centers, a hands on option for stations, or just some easy games to play with words during the day these ideas are a big hit! Organization is simple, there are NO COPIES to make, and your students will become better readers in no time. #kindergartenclassroom #wordwork #centers

After Winter Break, we like to refer back to the posters. After a busy holiday season and a bit of time out of school, the review is…

Can I just say that this sight makes me so happy! There’s a basket for each month just chock-full of writing goodies. (Rubber maid stackables for the win!)
