Independent Writing During Daily 5

Daily 5 is a time for independent practice with reading or writing while I work with groups of students. For the first round of D5, some students choose "Read to Self" and some students choose "Work on Writing". 

Work on writing can have many choices. Some include: poems, story writing, lists, opinion writing, notes, and letters. I am always amazed at the wonderful work that comes out of their independent time. Enjoy this snippet of a letter written by one student.....
