Teacher Notes

"Mrs.Thomas! We forgot to meet with our critical friend! I have to meet with them before I can start Daily 5!" This was a quote of one of my tier 2 students. On Thursday I forgot to have the kids meet with their CF before DAILY 5. They became so in tune to setting goals together and dialogue that THEY COULD NOT begin with out this component. This tells me that the CF piece of Daily 5 has a value and a purpose for my students.

    I love how you bring in quotes from your classroom. It gives us a sense of actually being there. That's great to hear your crew has gotten into the routine of working with CFs. I just responded to your comment on my blog. I said I needed to set more of a routine with group work in my classroom. So I guess I'm jealous of your structure. Keep up the great work!

    I appreciate the peek into your classroom too. It's helpful when you share what your students say and share how your plan is changing and evolving (twice a week to once). Keep sharing the detail!
