Daily+Five

This is a collection of ideas we have used or seen used in our schools.

**This first idea came from Donna Y.** If there are some teachers at your school using Daily 5…or if you’d like to model a Daily 5 lesson…this idea’s pretty sweet!

The CCS first grade teacher (Susan Brenner) and her first graders taught our kindergarteners (teacher, Nancy Eberly) one of the first lessons in Daily 5. There are three ways to read a book. A very simple book appropriate for kindergarten was used . Eating a Hershey Kiss reminds us there are three ways to read a book.

Lesson idea: Susan Brenner, 1st grade
 * Eating a Hershey Kiss || Reading a book ||
 * First we look at it. (Teacher describes the color, foil, shape, etc.) || We look at the book by reading the pictures. ||
 * We eat it. || We read the words ||
 * We tell someone else about how it tasted…chocolaty, smooth, sweet. || Retell the story. ||

The kindergarteners and first graders were partnered up. First graders worked with kindergarteners to read the book three ways. First graders used a story in the basal that was identified by the teacher. Next year, the first graders will begin already having a bit of background in Daily 5.

The next idea could come from YOU. :)
