Stamina building may seem like it takes a lot of time but it is so worth it! The kids are so proud of themselves and it really does help train their bodies and minds. I used to use a checklist/contract where they would check off what they did and such but as the Sisters said I realized that they didn't really need it and it was taking up too much time. I've become a master at writing their choices on my clipboard and I can easily scan and see when I need to remind them to make a variety of choices. We sadly only have time for about 3 rounds a day and my student know that they MUST do Read to Self. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy it as you figure out how to make it work for you!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411762623246238836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-58871280639656238122013-01-22T21:17:48.243-05:002013-01-22T21:17:48.243-05:00I would love your ideas on the best way you have f...I would love your ideas on the best way you have found to give them their rotations. Do you have a pocket chart? Paper? Anything that you found that works well? <br /><br />I am currently letting them pick which rotation they go to and it is taking up WAY too much time!

They really could never get their stamina up enough to be able to read independently for an extended amount of time. I still do have a listening center and a word work center, but I took out the others and added reading games (like word work but more of a game format), reading book from our classroom library, reading books at their levels, and then computers. It seems to really work for my kids. Tomorrow I am adding book boxes to help them with fluency. Hope it goes well!!!<br />Liz<br /><a href="http://teachinginthevalley.blogspot.com//" rel="nofollow">Teaching in the Valley</a>Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507306119644086592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-7246833493008303992013-01-21T22:58:03.492-05:002013-01-21T22:58:03.492-05:00One of the best things about the Daily 5 is that y...One of the best things about the Daily 5 is that you can make it your own so that it works for your setting and circumstances.

My kiddos LOVE it and it's going well for me but I definitely don't structure it exactly how the Sisters describe in their book...I think it's more about what works for your students. <br /><br />Kelly<br /><i><b><a href="http://kindergartenkel.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Kindergarten Kel</a></b></i>Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641612717882817267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-76803516416062721912013-01-21T21:25:18.216-05:002013-01-21T21:25:18.216-05:00You'll love Daily 5.

Plus, with kids being pulled for different things (O.T., resource room, speech), I find it hard to get done what I need done. I feel that within the circuit, they have many choices.<br /><br />Read to self-which book(s) to read<br />Read to someone-which book(s) to read, or fluency passage, or partner reading (2 reader) book, or comprehension check<br />Listen to reading-I do this on the computer with about 10 websites, so the kids have tons of choices<br />Write about reading-which book to write about<br />Word Work-which activity to practice their personal spelling words (although I do sometimes have an everyone activity)<br /><br />I feel that you have to do what best fits the needs of you, and your class:) <br /><br />What do you think of Study Island? I just heard of it today (but not much about it) while at professional development. My kids go on www.scootpad.com for reading/grammar and math.<br /><br />-Beach Teacher<br /><a href="http://primaryclassroomsareoceansoffun.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Primary Classrooms are Oceans of Fun</a>Beach Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857506754302369545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-66826607402348116102013-01-21T19:53:28.254-05:002013-01-21T19:53:28.254-05:00This is my third year to be doing the Daily 5 in m...This is my third year to be doing the Daily 5 in my classroom. I have tweaked it just a bit too and I do use a scheduled rotation chart. I'm not against choices, but we just don't have the time to sit and ask each student where they want to go. As it is, I have trouble getting everything done each day. Plus, I have an inclusion classroom. Some of my students need a highly structured classroom. I think you will like the Daily 5 as you tailor it to fit your student's needs.O FISH ally a First Grader (Corinna)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07513038533278753700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-51606547457250508422013-01-21T19:45:58.649-05:002013-01-21T19:45:58.649-05:00I love the Daily 5, which is more like the Daily 4...I love the Daily 5, which is more like the Daily 4 in my classroom.
