We have begun introducing the Daily 5 this past week, kicking it off with Read to Self. And we've started with Check for Understanding on our CAFE menu with various read alouds. Now it will be a while before we start pulling students to strategy groups and conferring daily with others, but we will begin introducing strategies weekly and working on procedures for our Daily CAFE.
I wanted to share a new product that I've created to help students work on their reading goals. I've already posted my Accuracy Animals to help with those goals on the A menu. These are my Fluency Friends!
They are:
Rereading Ruby
Appropriate Allie
Punctuation Peter
Sight Word Susan
Adjusting Adam
Voracious Vic
I've also included a color poster with all friends and strategies listed and a B&W for take home.
And I've finished my CAFE bookmarks project that I've been working. Recently, Astrobrights contacted me about some projects I've been using in my classroom. I love this paper! It's so bright and fade resistant and sturdy. I love using it in classroom projects!! And they are promoting the #colorizeyourclassroom contest so I've been working on ways to make my day to day classroom workings BRIGHTER!!
When conferring with students and working on their goal or a new goal, you can have them stick a handy label reminder on the bookmark and they will have a quick tool to help them remember. And colorful!!!
I've made them for both Accuracy Animals and Fluency Friends. I think the kids will love this! And it will help them with practicing their goals.
You can grab your copy of Fluency Friends {HERE}.
How do you help students remember their goals? Are you using Daily 5 or Daily CAFE?
Thanks! And Happy Teaching!
