Daily 5!

During Reading Workshop a new component I am implementing this year is called The Daily 5
The Daily 5 are:
1.  Read to Self
2.  Read to Someone
3.  Work on Writing
4.  Work on Words
5.  Listening to Reading (Not yet introduced)

I introduced the first 4 components and we have been practicing, practicing, and practicing the expectations.  The students are doing a GREAT job and eventually they will be able to choose which Daily 5 they want to go to each day.  Right now students are practicing as a whole group.  This week we practiced Work on Words.
Write, Stamp, Decorate (Red Words)
Making red words with tiles
Using spinners to make words
