Daily Five and Boggle Freebie

These would be great for fast finishers,

morning work, centers, etc.

Do you do the Daily 5 or are you interested in seeing it in action?
My post today is snapshots of my students in action during the Daily 5 and materials I use.
I LOVE the Daily 5 for many reasons!
We build our stamina and train so  students become independent  readers and writers.
I don't have to prep and change literacy centers! THAT is my favorite thing about the Daily Five!

I reread parts of it every year  and NEVER get tired of it!

Building our Stamina

Ideally, you are to keep the anchor charts  you make as a whole class and hang them up for referral. I don't have the space so I use anchor charts I found on TpT. I can't find the creator of these but they were a freebie! There are many freebies for anchor charts on there!
Read to Self
Book boxes for Read to Self are a must! I bought these through IKEA for $1.99 for 5 plus shipping! Compared to others I found, even with shipping, it was a great deal! PLUS, students get to decorate them and keep them at the end of the year! Click the picture to check them out!

Word Work
I use Jen Ross's Spelling  Throughout the Year, so for Word Work, I copy the included spelling pattern word cards and sight word  cards, front to back, and place these with the Word Work materials for the week.

Erica Bohrer's Word Wall Words packet goes perfectly with the spelling (and my Safari theme)! They both use the Fry word lists.
Click the picture to check it out. She has about every theme you can imagine! Just visit her store! She also has the headers for your word wall.

I keep Word Work as simple as possible! No centers to prep! LOVE it!

Work on Writing
I own all of First Grade Fun Times D5 Work on Writing cards. I put out one set at a time, for about 3-4 weeks each, so students get a lot of practice with each skill.
These have been a lifesaver! No more "What do I write about?" Click the picture to check out set #1 and visit her store to see the rest!
Rachelle Smith from What the Teacher Wants has these adorable journal covers. I run them on regular copy paper and the students color them. All Work on Writing is written in these journals. Click the picture to check it out in her store!
