Dear Parents:
You may have noticed the entry titled "Daily 5" in your child's agenda. Daily 5 is the title for our reading core. There are 5 parts to this core: read to self, read to someone, vocabulary/spelling work, writing, and listen to reading. We have been learning the independent behaviors for these activities, and have been working on building our stamina for each one. The kids are finally starting to "get it". I just wanted to share with you some pictures from our Read to Self time. The positions may be a little unconventional, but notice that all of them are engrossed in reading books that reflect their interests and that are at their levels. I'm always amazed and excited when we get to this part of the school year and get to watch children start to fall in love with books and reading.
Sincerely,
