Daily 5

Rise and Shine!  When the students come in, their morning work folders come out.  At this time, the students are working on the calendar concepts of: date, days of the week, and number recognition.  The kids love using the plastic sleeves and dry-erase markers to highlight what they know.


Student Work





In First Grade, our team uses “The Daily 5” during our Reading Block. The Daily 5 was developed by the 'Two Sisters' - Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.  It encompasses five literacy tasks which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.  I am proud to say that we are in our second year of implementation of the program.  Last year, we thought initially that The Daily 5 would be a wonderful management system, but we were in awe over the stamina, independence, and love of reading that was naturally occurring in our rooms.  In November, we will be welcoming parents to volunteer during our Reading Blocks to see it in action.  Be sure to ask your child which Daily Five activity he/she enjoys the most.
