We were wondering the following things–ġ. My teammate and I are implementing the Daily 5 this year and love the way you run it in your class. I do have a couple questions, specifically related to Daily 5 (6), if you’d be so kind to answer. It always makes me smile to read your posts and I often say “that’s how I want to be!” I’ll let you guess how 35 minutes of independent reading goes with 5 year olds! Seeing that some people have schedules like yours gives me hope that someday before I get to retire (a long time from now) the pendulum will swing back in that direction for everyone!įirst let me tell you how much I love your philosophy and methods of instruction! I’m a very pro play based, age appropriate type person and in such a data driven education system it can feel like a battle, but you’ve done a wonderful job implementing hands on and engaging lessons with your students. Reader’s Workshop consists of a 15 minute mini lesson, 35 minutes of independent reading, and 10 minutes of sharing time at the end. We had time for centers every day 3 years ago when I started, but that got taken away after my first year in favor of more time in Reader’s/Writer’s workshop. My schedule most days (some variance due to an early release on Thursdays) is as follows:Ĩ:30-8:45 – morning work (as students come in 2nd bell rings at 8:45)Ĩ:50-9:50 – Reader’s Workshop (60 minutes mandated)ĩ:50-10:45 – Writer’s Workshop (60 minutes mandated, though I do 55 because of lunch)ġ1:15-11:35 – word work/phonics instruction block (in K, we are only allowed to take 20 minutes for this)ġ1:35-12:20 – Guided Reading (my kinders who are not in my groups do literacy stations at this time…the closest thing to centers we’re allowed to have–all stations must be academic)ġ2:55-1:50 – math (60 minutes mandated 5 minutes in the morning + 55 here)ġ:55-2:20 – science or social studies 1 day a week this is computer lab time, and 1 day a week it’s for specials due to early release, so we get science or SS 3x/week.Ģ:20-3:20 – specials (PE, Art, Music, Library, Counselor, Health–first 4 get 1 hr/wk, counselor/health are 30 min/wk) So jealous of your schedule!! We are not allowed to have rest time, centers, etc.
