Daily 5 Here We Come!!!


During the first month of school, we have been focusing on learning the Daily 5 Centers. These centers include:

-Read to Self
-Read to Someone
-Word Work
-Work on Writing
-Listen to Reading

In these centers students are learning reading stamina, phonic skills, and writing skills. These centers are differentiated for each students' need to ensure all students are getting work that is "just right for them"
