Daily 5

I have decided to try and introduce the Daily 5 into my classroom, this program I feel not only helps the students with their Literacy skills but also helps me on track too. So far so good, I have completed an anchor chart each day for each part of Daily 5 ( I will post pictures this week)

Here are two of my students working on Read to Others

Beginning of the year

Well its been a couple of weeks into the beginning of the school year here in Australia.
I have a great bunch of kids in my class, about half I have taught before when they were in Grade 1 a couple of years ago.
We started off the year with activities all about getting to know each other, one of the tasks that they completed was a silhouette of themselves with a a couple of clues to see if we could guess who they are. They turned out great!
