Ms. Nees's Kindergarten Class

The Daily 5 is a series of literacy tasks which students complete daily while the teacher meets with small groups or confers with individuals.  The tasks include:  read to someone, read to self, listen to reading, work with words, and work on writing.  At the beginning of the year, we will start by doing a lot of modeling and practicing as we systematically train students to participate in each of the five components.  The goal will be to build stamina and to help students develop the daily habits of reading, writing and working with peers that will lead to independent literacy skills.
