Gettin' Into the Swing of DAILY 5-Read to Someone


WowSiE! I'm so excited about using the Daily 5 with my first graders this year! Today, we had our first focus lesson for Read to Someone. We made an anchor chart: "When I Read to Someone, I will..."I modeled the EEKK {elbow to elbow, knee to knee} reading position & then the kiddos all practiced with partners. Amazing!!! They actually were all engaged in reading {for a few minutes anyway}. For the first day, I thought they did a GREAT job! It was just too cute watching them work so hard to get their elbows & knees matched up!
The Daily 5 book {below} & the website The Daily Cafe are amazing resources filled with a wealth of info-check these out! Thanks so much Danielle for letting me borrow your book!!

And, of course, I had to add a little "zebra bling" to my Daily 5 signs! If you would like a copy, just click on the pics below for your FREEBIES! I would also LOVE to hear from you guys about any Daily 5 things you are doing in your classrooms or if you have found any great Daily 5 blogs or websites!

  3. Nice! I have the poem hung up in my classroom, but this one is so much cuter. I will be replacing my old one.

  4. I love your blog! I spent a lot of time looking through it yesterday! I will be a first year teacher in the fall and I am so excited to find great resources like yours! I am planning to use the EEKK sign in my Buddy Reading Station..not sure if you have a tune you have placed it to but I wanted to have a tune for my students to sing it to and figured out that "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" is a great tune to put it to! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!! :)
