The Daily 5 Book Study {Chapter 9}

July 18, 2014 By Mary Amoson 3 Comments

Hello Daily 5 fans!
Now that the FL gals are back from Vegas, we are ready to proceed with our book study.
This week we are diving into…
Sadly this is the last chapter of the book and hence the last chapter in our book study.
This chapter discusses ways to ultize parent volunteers, guests, new students,
and those challenging students we all have.
{Aren’t those the “friends” we all worry about when we talk about using this structure!?}
They suggest ways to work with students who disrupt the flow of the classroom which building stamina in very specific ways.
Level 1: Reflection
Level 2: Extra Support
Level 3: In Class Modification
Level 4: Gradual Release of Class Modification
I will not tell you all the details about this elements because I think they wrote it so clear and exact that you really need to read their words to see how to handle our needy friends using this structure.

I will also
add that I was doing these steps in my classroom myself,
so I was glad
to read that these are the ways they also suggest to help support
students
in using their structure successfully.
I loved one thing they said…
on page 142,
“Children will rise to the expectations we set for them.”The last part of the book details how to handle subs, new students, and even gives and
AWESOME sample letter to send to paretns explaining The Daily 5.
I know I am going to use their sample letter and make it my own to share with parents to help them gain understanding about the structure we are using.

I loved this chapter because The Sisters kept it real.
Real Students can sometimes have Real Problems conforming to systems.I was thinking about the Level 1:Reflection section.
It is for the teacher to SELF reflect on how he/she set the students up for success or not.

Level 2: Extra Support suggests sitting a child out of recess to practice
some Daily 5 elements that they are struggling with in the regular classroom.
I have also made a {as in one time, one single student}
sit out at recess for a small amount of time to practice Read to Self.
I hated doing it but this student’s behaviors were not acceptable to myself or even himself.
We had to force this student to THINK about why he was going the wrong behaviors
and allow him to make the choice to do the correct behaviors.
I am more than happy to say that using recess to practice our stamina ONE TIME was all it took…
he did so much better from that day forward.
I also like how the sisters discussed behaviors a student CAN and CAN NOT control.
We, as teachers, have to determine between these two behaviors and work with that student where they are. Let’s face it- we teach REAL students who may not have self control.The Level 3: In Class Modifcation are real life things we do to support our students.
Reading rugs, offices, and even laundry baskets can help with boundaries.
Giving student kinestic materials can also aid.
Teachers have been sharing these tips and more on Pinterest for years, but this book does a great job of collecting all those “teacher tips” that actually work and sharing them.

Level 4: Gradual Release is another way you teach students then pull away support as they grow,
but give them more support as they need it.

I am a HUGE fan of this.
I support my students and pull it away slowly and then return the support as they need it.
By March, I provide almost NO additional support for any students…
they have it.
Smooth sailing through May… AND
since all our grade levels use Daily 5,
I have set my students up for success for future years.

One way I support my students is with cross off sheets.

 

These sheets allow my students to track where they have been or where they have to go easily.
Using them isn’t the modification…
but some students struggle with self selected choices.
For those students who don’t finish their station or work,
I modify their cross off sheet and TELL them where to go.
After a few weeks of this, I change their sheet to where they have to go first,
then they can chose a station, then I choose, etc.
If that works, we leave it for a few weeks.
If not, I go back to making their choices.
After a few successful weeks of a combination of choices,
I start them off at a station, then they choose.
As you can see I tamper off the help as they grow and change.

    Nobody wants a traffic violation on their driving record. But sometimes they just happen and before you know it you can see the police car in your rear view mirror. Luckily Traffic School 2 U is here to help you take care of that unfortunate traffic violation and help you to get it off your record.

    I am a big believer in having high expectations in the classroom! Year after year, my students and I benefit from the expectations I set both academically & behaviorally. Great book study!

This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all This week seemed to be the longest and slowest all at the same time. In science, we dove into the water cycle. On Friday, we got to try some simple (covid friendly) science experiments. We melted colors ice cubes to show states of matter changes. Then we did small cups for sink float. We predicted if each item would sick or float, then tested out. We can choose f2f or virtual this week, so I only had 12 in the room with me and 8 at home.
