My favorite part about chapter 2 was this:
When you think about it, it really makes sense! When students understand the purpose of doing something and have a choice on which task they complete, they are naturally more motivated to stay busy and learn.
I love the idea of teaching students the urgency and why they need to complete each Daily 5 task. I am having so many "ah ha" moments while reading this book, that it will be interesting to see it actually working in my classroom next year. I am so excited {but, not excited enough to want summer to end}!
I also liked the questions students should ask themselves before choosing a Daily 5 task. I made a printable to go along with them and I will display this poster on my Daily 5 bulletin board {along with the 5 choices}.
Click the picture below to download. Please Note: I added this poster to the end of the last Daily 5 download {so you will need to download it again}. It will be easier to keep all the downloads all in one place, so each week I will be adding to this file. Enjoy!
BTW: It's still not too late to follow along and read The Daily 5 and CAFE with us!

Love the poster! I also quoted Purpose + Choice = Motivation! Powerful Statement. =)

Love the poster, Lindsey! I've already linked up with the other book study, but I was wondering if it is OK to link to yours as well. I need all the help I can get to implement D5 this year.

ReplyDeleteCute poster! My kiddos do so much better when they have visuals to guide their thinking and refer back to!!!! Thanks for sharing!

I have you on my blog list Lindsay!!
Hii there! I'm reading the daily five with you as well :) are you reading the cafe book in conjunction with this book? If so, how are you lining up the chapters and if not, are you just going to read cafe when you finish d5?
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection! I think I want Purpose + Choice = Motivation hanging about my door this year! I read both books already but rereading with a group has been so helpful for me. I'm with Katie, let's do CAFE when we finish!
ReplyDeleteThanks ~Heather
OHMIGOSH! I'm SOOO glad to find out there are other teachers who are reading Daily 5 this summer AND who will also be implementing it in the fall along WITH Common Core!
ReplyDeleteI swear I thought I was THE only crazy one!!
Thanks for the poster!
