The Daily Five 

While teachers work with small groups and/or individual students, the remainder of the class cycles through Daily 5 activities of their choice.  The Daily 5 activities include:

1. Read to Yourself - the best way to become a better reader is to practice each day, with books you choose, on your just-right reading level.  It soon becomes a habit.

2. Read to Someone - Read to someone allows for more time to practice reading strategies, helping you work on fluency and expression, check for understanding, hear your own voice, and share in the learning community.

3.  Work on Writing - Just like reading, the best way to become a better writer is to practice writing each day.

4.  Listen to Reading - We hear examples of good literature and fluent reading.  We learn more words, thus expanding our vocabulary and becoming better readers.

5.  Spelling/Word Work - Correct spelling allows for more fluent writing, thus speeding up the ability to write and get thinking down on paper.  This is an essential for writers.

 Dear Parents:

Please Read with/to your Child for at least twenty minutes a day

 It is a great time to remind students about bus safety:

1. Be on time to your bus stop – 5 minutes early is best.
2. Wait for the bus in a safe spot – not in the street.  Respect the property where you wait.
3. Don’t run to the bus.  Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and the driver opens the door.
4. Never run after a school bus – there are too many blind spots around a school bus.
5. Use the handrail.
6. Be careful not to wear clothing with long drawstrings.
7. On the bus - stay seated, talk quietly, pack in your lap, and hands to yourself.
8. Never put anything out a school bus window.
9. Never play with emergency equipment, including windows and doors.
10. Getting off the bus – wait for the bus to come to a complete stop, wait your turn, and no pushing.
11. Off the bus – move away from the bus, stay in clear view, and never reach under the bus to retrieve anything.
12. If you have a question or problem please speak with the bus driver.
13. Be smart, be alert, and be safe.
