I've been trying and trying to figure out something to put our independent work in for the next two sections of the Daily 5. (See the previous post for our take on the other three sections of the Daily 5.) I knew I didn't want to do individual boxes for the littles, but wasn't sure what I was going to do. I came across this ten drawer rolling cart while out shopping the other day, and I absolutely love it for what I will be using it for. The best part was, that it was on sale! Who doesn't love a good sale, especially when it fits in so perfectly with what you were looking for!
I will be using this awesome cart for the next two sections in our Daily 5 journey. The drawers will hold independent activities that the students will be able to access by themselves. I will be modeling each activity over the next several class periods and monitoring students' use of them until they are able to do each activity independently. I will be displaying what I put in these drawers in the next couple of posts.
Work on Writing. For this section of the Daily 5, we will be focusing on pre-writing skills and letter formation, depending on the needs of each individual student. We use the Handwriting Without Tears program, so a lot of these activities will be based around that program.
Word Work. My littles aren't ready for word work, but they are ready for more alphabet activities and phonics work. These activities will focus mostly on letter recognition and letter sounds in this part of our journey. I'm thinking of renaming this section to more fit our needs, I just haven't found the right title for it yet.
This is our take of the Daily 5. Stay tuned for updates as we continue along on our Daily 5 journey!
