Our class will be a balanced literacy classroom where we will be participating in the Daily Five Program. During daily five, students select from five authentic reading and writing choices (read to self, read to someone, work on writing, listen to reading or word work), working independently toward personalized goals, while the teacher meets individual needs through whole-group and small-group instruction, as well as one-on-one conferring. Students will work on fluency, comprehension, accuracy, and expanding their vocabulary.
