I want to use the daily 5 in my classroom, but have struggled with how to incorporate it while using curriculum that our school uses. We are purchasing a new writing curriculum and will probably base our reading units on the type of writing that we are focusing on. How does your writing block work with the daily 5? Does each child write everyday?

I don't have a smartboard...yet, so I have our celebrity of the week write up a simple checkout system on the board before each round. Gives them that independence we so want them to acquire! Guided reading sessions this quarter have been dicey for me...feeling that time is not on my side...found myself doing more one-on-one conferring instead.. <br />Love your organization and thoroughness!<br />JulieJulie DiBenedettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862379825559477066noreply@blogger.com
