Each day we will be actively engaged in learning.
We follow Fundations, Daily 5, Guided Reading and Writer's Workshop! These are the reading and writing programs implemented in my classroom.
Daily 5 is the structure we will use to plan our morning. Children will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks. The choices will be:
Read to Self
Word Work
Work on Writing
Listen to Reading
Read to Someone
While the children are working in the Daily 5 centers, I will be meeting with small groups of students. In between each round, we have mini-lessons focused on the phonics skill of the week and the theme based common core standards. The weekly homework sheet will keep you posted on the reading and writing skills that we are working on in class.
It is going to be exciting to watch your child's reading and writing skills blossom throughout the year! If you have any questions regarding this program, please ask. I am always enthusiastic to share what I know about Daily 5!
At the bottom of this page, you will find links to educational websites that you may want to explore at home.
