I'll start out by saying this is the first year I've done Daily 5, so for what it's worth.....I had reading workshop daily from 11:10-12:10, then about 20 min. outside, and another session from 12:30ish to 1ish (depended on weather for outside play, and when my specialties were scheduled). I found most of my strategy lessons ended up much longer than a 5-10 minute minilesson, since I went ahead and did some guided practice, or read an entire picture book while modeling the strategy.
Basically every day I had 3 "choices", during which the kids chose from Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, and Word Work. We have Writing Workshop 3 times during the week, so that wasn't included in the Daily 5 (or 4, as it were). A few of my kids were pulled daily for Title I instruction during the 11:10-12:10 hour, so I rarely did whole-group strategy instruction then. Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri: 1st choice, 2nd choice, outside, 3rd choice Wed: 1st choice, 2nd choice, outside, Writing Workshop (I did WW Thurs afternoon and Fri am also) Once or twice a week I would teach a strategy lesson during the 3rd choice on MTThF. I was only able to get through Making Connections, Visualizing, and Inferring (using Reading with Meaning). Again, this was the first time I've used those lessons. All in all, I was pleased with my schedule and instruction. This is my first year in 2nd after many, many years in K. I would have liked one more chunk of time for Writing Workshop, but I would've had to have used a content area time or another reading choice, neither of which I wanted to do. I also would love for all my Title kids to be pulled at one time, but that will probably change yearly, depending on test scores. I also would have liked to have done more strategy instruction (comprehension and word work), but felt like the actual reading was the most important. I was pleased to discover that at the end of this year, after doing running records and our state reading test, 12 of 16 kids were at or above grade level, as compared to 9 of 16 at the beginning of the year. Although I give Title I teachers some credit 8-) , I feel sure that having them read, read, read, had a lot to do with the increase, too. Hope that helps, and looking forward to seeing other schedules.
