Daily 5: <br />
During Reading Workshop students are given choices about what they would like to do to become better readers.&nbsp; They can choose from the 5 literacy choices below and rotate choices every 20 minutes, the sixth choice being reading with Mrs. C.&nbsp; At the beginning of the year we will have shorter rotations until we build up our stamina.&nbsp; Before choosing, we create classroom "I-Charts", which are Independence charts that help us become independent and build our stamina to work by ourselves.&nbsp; These charts use our own language to describe what each Daily 5 choice looks like for students and me.&nbsp; You can see an example of our "I-Charts" <a href="Daily-5-Independence-Charts.pdf">here</a>!</span></span><br />
