Is anyone that uses and is thinking about using Daily5 interested in
looking at how to combine Mosaic strategies with Daily 5 procedures.
I love both, but I am working on how to include the best of both
worldssmoothly.

I'm going to look into the Daily 5- Thanks for the suggestion. And
as far
as the center activites go- I have academic times for guided reading
centers, and then "centers" which revolve mostly around play and
creative
exploration.

The Daily 5 is just for my literacy block. I teach 2nd grade, so we
don't
do
other center activities. When I taught K (for 21 years, up to a
couple
years
ago), I had a literacy center block AND a "free choice" center
block (art,
painting, blocks, legos, explore table, etc). Sometimes those centers
included an academic activity or connection.
I have a colleague in K that has modified D5 a bit for the little
ones, but
her D5 time is separate from center time.
When I taught 1st, they occasionally had K-type centers as part of
their
reading contract.
You can see that I've tried various management systems--Daily 5
beats them
all for ease of management and kids' independence. Love it!!

Do they get to play and build in blocks, work at a water table,
dress up,
have a writing center with all kinds and sizes of paper, mini books,
markers, pencils, gel pens for creative writing???

I currently teach kindergarten. I am wondering what independent
lessons
would benefit my students when I am working with another group.
So far
I
have students copy the morning message ( filling in the missing
letters);
make weekly picture dictionaries (using a current theme we are
studying);
glue poems in order and underline any sight words or rhyming words;
listen
to books on tape; and complete a word family packet. What else
could I
have
them do that could work for the variety of levels in my classroom??
