Chess Club
Chess Club is full! It was great to see the enthusiastic response that I received right away to join chess club. Slips will be going home the week of the 16th saying which club your child is in.
Daily Five
When your child comes home talking about the Daily Five, they are talking about a system that the teachers use to help students become better readers. The Daily Five includes five areas of reading that the students work on. Read to themselves, read to someone else, listen to reading, word work, and writing. The goal of the Daily Five is to foster literacy independence so that the teacher is free to work with small groups or individuals. Every student is engaged in literacy activities at the same time. They know what they are to be doing and they have a sense of urgency that what they are doing is important and meaningful.
