Daily 5

Well we have now begun our Daily 5! The kids have started out great and I am so proud of them! We have introduced the first daily which is Read to Self. We learned about the 3 ways to Read a Book, so even if we don't know how to read all the words, we can still be reading. We also completed our Read to Self I-chart that shows the desirable behaviors for Read to Self time. Each student has their own book box filled with books that they use during this time. We have already built our stamina up to 13 minutes of reading time after only 6 days!! Very impressive!


We also did an art lesson on Warm and Cool colors. We talked about the colors that remind us of the warm sun and the colors that  remind us of the cool water. They each got to sponge paint a page for warm and cool, and then we put a picture frame around it. They turned out great!
