Today's Daily Five Happenings

My kiddos were super engaged during my observations with The Daily Five today! I had to be pulled out in the hallway to discuss another student with the principal, so I left the door cracked as the students worked on their Daily Five activities. When I walked back into the room, ALL of the students were quiet, engaged, and doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. This makes me excited because it shows me they really are motivated to complete their Daily Five. :) I also made some observation notes while my focal group was working. Five out of my six focal group students were writing with complete sentences and appropriate conventions and spelling. I drew attention to the one student that was not using conventions and she quickly fixed her mistake and later I noticed she was consistently using such conventions in her writing. However, all six of the students were engaged in their writing task. Yay for my kids! :)
