What’s Happening in Daily 5:

* We have just begun our Daily 5 adventure.  Students will be busy completing meaningful literacy tasks.  The choices will be: Read to Self, Listen to Reading, and Read to Someone.  Right now we are focusing on building stamina to work independently. 

 Week in Review:

- Thank you to those who were able to come to Open House.  It was great to meet the families.

-This week we have been busy learning routines and procedures.

-We have read a few new poems this week.  We have practiced reading them as an echo (I read, then they read), chorally (all together), and a silly way (like a boss or a cowboy).

-We have toured the new addition and are enjoying eating in our new lunchroom.
