Daily 5 centers

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.…

I started The Daily 5 this year in kindergarten and I am soooo excited about it! This is what we have been doing each day. Thi...

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

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.

This is my 5th year using The Daily 5 in my classroom. Launching The Daily 5 is what I look forward to the most each fall. In this post I am going to explain how I manage The Daily 5 in my 2nd grade classroom. (The I-Chart templates are from Mrs. Jones' Creation Station.) 1. Read to Self Read to Self is the first activity I introduce to my students. I purchased my book bins from Really Good Stuff. They aren't the cheapest option, but they are well worth the money. I allow my students to have…
