Daily 5 continued.......

Another component of the Daily 5 is Work on Writing. 

This provides the additional support children require to become effective writers. Its purpose is to provide daily writing practice.  This is not to be confused with Writer's Workshop which is a separate activity throughout our day and not part of the Daily 5. 

During this rotation students typically work on writing of their choice.  Each student has a composition book in their Daily 5 basket to write on a topic of their choice for the day.  We also have several other activities that you may have already seen coming home in your child's folder that give the students a little more structure in the writing process when they just can't decide on a topic for the day.  Here are some pictures to show you just what it is that we do.  Don't worry, I have translated both writing pieces below the picture ;)

My sister had a soccer game and she got three goals.  She got more than me.  I am so proud of her.  I love her.  When we got home, we had lunch.  It was good.  I said, " you did good."

I rode my bike.  It was fun.  I rode it up the driveway.  My brother rides up with me too.
