I have implemented Daily 5 this year too...Hi Kerri,<br />I have implemented Daily 5 this year too, and am glad that I'm not the only one that doesn't offer my kiddos all of the choices The Sisters recommend. I just think my kiddos are too young and still need more structure at this point. <br /><br />As for writing..I felt I needed to beef up my writing instruction this year. During Daily 5, I do more structured writing activities like journaling using sight words, prompts about the theme of the week, alphabet books, etc. but I also do a Writer's Workshop time this year that is separate from the Daily 5. I bought Deanna Jump's/Deedee Wills' Writing Through the Year units and they have been sooo helpful. My kiddos are doing really well with writing in comparison to years past and the biggest difference is how much more they like writing and are excited about getting stories down on paper. <br /><br />Phew, this was a long comment but I hope it was helpful. I will be posting pics of my Daily 5 Work on Writing time tomorrow on my blog.<br /><br />Kelly<br /><i><b><a href="http://kindergartenkel.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Kindergarten Kel</a></b></i>Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641612717882817267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2658705388001329172.post-18825953311921623802012-10-24T22:35:09.305-04:002012-10-24T22:35:09.305-04:00Thank you Kerri for the sweet sweet words. I thin...Thank you Kerri for the sweet sweet words. I think it's safe to say that writing is not an easy subject for most of us to teach, so you're in great company. I feel like I continually improve upon what I did the year before. We're all on the same journey for sure, just in different places. I really enjoy Lucy Calkins' non-fiction ideas. Anyway, keep jumping in and getting your feet wet. Sometimes that's the only way to find your way!<br /><br />❀ Tammy<br /><i><b><a href="http://foreverin1st.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Forever in First</a></b></i>Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.com
