Daily 3 in our Middle School Classroom

    One of the many things I am looking forward to for the upcoming new year is our Daily 3. I am sure some of you are wondering what is the Daily 3 and how is that going to affect me this school year. The Daily 3 is a literacy rotation that will happen Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in our classroom. It consists of Read to Self, Word Work, and Work on Writing. The great part about these stations is the freedom of choice. You will get to chose which station you will go to first, and once you get to the station you will have the option to chose what you complete and/or read. 

    This is where mutual trust comes into play in the classroom. I have to have trust in you that you will complete your assignments in a respectful manner which I know you will do. You as the students will have to trust that I am spending my time wisely and furthering your reading goals while I am working in small groups. Speaking of reading goals each one of you will have reading goals throughout the year. We will set those goals within the first quarter of the year. Once we meet those goals we will work towards some new reading that have been set. 

     During the first weeks of school you will hear a lot about about our Daily 3. There are going to be a lot of fun parts to the lesson such as read alouds, writing letters on cool paper, and fun games with our vocabulary. I am so excited about our Daily 3! I would love to hear your thoughts about what the Daily 3 will look like in our class. Please post a comment below or share your thoughts with me after class.
