Students will complete four different rotations each day. As stated, each rotation will last twenty minutes. The stations
will include Read to Self/Listen to Reading, Word Work, Work on Writing and Meet with the Teacher. For the Read to Self
rotation, students will read a book of their choice from their Book Bags. Each student will have their own Book Bag with
appropriate books they have chosen from the class library. They wil have the opportunity to find new books at the beginning of
each week. This station is meant to build their reading stamina. On Tuesday and Thursday, students will have the opportunity to
Listen to Reading rather than Read to Self. During Listen to Reading, students will listen to a book on tape on an iPad. Anything
other than listening to a book will not be tolerated. Activities for Word Work, Work on Writing and Meet with the Teacher will
vary from day to day.

Part of the closure every day will include a Class Meeting on the carpet. Students will share work from the day and any
updates that needed to be shared. Teacher will ask for an honest thumbs up or thumbs down in regard to behavior. I want
students to be responsible for their behavior so it will be discussed frequently.

to complete their Work on Writing activity.

their writing.

Your name: Ellie Rashid
Integrated
Disciplines/Subjects: Daily
Five
LESSON PROCEDURES
Anticipatory Set:
Class will begin with an activity dealing with contractions. Each student will be given either a red or a blue note card with a
word on it. The red cards will have the words I, you, we, they, what, that, she, that, it, etc. The blue cards will have the words
will, not, would, have and had. Since there are more students than words, some of the cards will have the same words on
them. Students will be asked to pair up with someone with the opposite color card as them. When they find a partner,
together they will decide what contraction their words make together.
Teacher will do:
-Review rules and expectations for Daily Five.
-Explain each of the different stations and what is
expected at them.
