...BLAST OFF!
Each year excited and highly motivated first through third grade students pace in groups through a daily ninety-minute literacy block called
The Daily 5
. A special Launching Day is scheduled each year to kick off the program. This year on September 5th, the primary students gathered in the hallway to recite (yell!) a special cheer and have fun preparing for the first
Daily 5
rotations of the year. Along with teacher-guided reading groups, the students will participate in five daily literacy tasks throughout the year: Read to Self, Read with Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Words, and Work on Writing.
