I don't make them exactly like the book, and you can probably see the differences pretty quickly.
I incorporate one of our school's character assets under each of the options. This gives the kids the chance to think about that asset as they work in that session and I can also draw out some pretty cool character asset compliments during this time, like, "I love how so-and-so is showing so much respect toward our iPod!" during Listen to Reading.
I also don't always put "Teachers are:" on the right-hand side of the charts. We do that for the first chart on Read to Self, but afterwards, I like to use the space to write down choices they have during that time. This helps answer a lot of questions about what they should be working on and gives them huge visual clues in case they forget :)
Without further ado...

I love the way you did your colors...and that the chart reminds them of their choices. Your handwriting is so neat!!

Thanks so much :) I am completely addicted to the smelly Mr. Sketch markers, so I try to find any excuse to make big charts with them :) :)

Thank you so much for everything you've shared on your site. I'm rolling out D5 for the first time and it helps to see what other people are doing!
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome! I am the same way you are- seeing what others do helps me a ton :) Good luck with Daily 5- I love it!!

I LOVE how you have choices on the right side! I wrote what the teacher is doing on the right side of ALL of my anchor charts, and what a waste of space! Pretty sure I'm going to be redoing mine tomorrow!

Hippo Hooray for Second Grade!
I really like that you write student choices on the right side of your posters! Great idea! It's a better use of space and students will get more out of it as well. Thanks for sharing the idea.
