Books from 2025 that are connected to Hatchet are Alone and Away. You could have a group compare the characters, time period and events and how they overcame challenges. Just a thought. Alicia from CT

Hi Cherish, yes, it's a Google doc so teachers can have it to 1. Print or 2. Use digitally. So it does download once you get the email. 😀
What happens to the hamster or guinea pig on the weekend did you send it home with a student? Did you take it home yourself or wasn’t able to stay alone for a weekend?
Hi Deborah! Great question. My class hamster stays at school on weekends but comes home with me on breaks. What class pet do you have?

Love you mam ❤️
Hi Molly, Im going to implement as many of your tips as possible. Thanks! I'm about to start teaching a mixed age group (10 to 15 years) class. All the kids have barriers to learning, and I will have to seriously differentiate. Its a very poor community with limited resources. Ive done daily 5 before as well as Whole brain teaching with typical students. I'm excited to see how this is going to work out😊
That is quite the mixed age group!!
I'm binge watching your videos. 🎉

Hi Molly !, What would you do if you the teacher return to the classroom after the sub day when the kids take advantage of the sub day and Daily 5 became the "Day's Disaster" ? - Dwight
My first question is: did that happen to you?
@@literacyfundamentals Sorry Molly. I'm not a teacher. I'm just researching. - Dwight
@@djthereplay researching what?
Question: When you do Book Clubs does each group focus on a main topic(or similar theme). For example do you do dog books like : Because of Winn-Dixie; How to Steal a Dog; Wish. Or can you have a variety . Need some suggestions/help in creating this. Thank you. Alicia from CT
I usually try to have a theme that goes along with what they're learning in ELA. So let's say one unit is character relationships...I'll choose stories with characters that are building friendships and tie in the activities from my ELA teaching book to the book club book. :)
I’ve been doing Daily 5 for 5-6 years and most years my class struggles with staying on task for read to someone. One year I took that away. Is this common or am I doing something wrong?
That is common and I’ve always taken it away from students who can’t handle the responsibility.
Great ideas😊
Hi Molly, I just wanted to ask what a mini lesson would look like when you’re doing this after teaching the whole class lesson. Is this mini lesson still to the whole class or is it being done in small groups? Thanks xx
@@emilymcerlean6195 Hey Emily! Great question! It’s the whole class usually but there are some caveats to that. I’ll make a UA-cam video for you!!! ❤️

When you’re building stamina during Daily 5, I’m assuming you’re not teaching small reading groups yet, right?
@@justindavies9934 hi! Right, building stamina is the only thing they’re doing and you too! 😃
Can Daily Five be used with the core knowledge language arts curriculum that focuses on a lot of reading passages aloud to the class?

Sweet. I love this idea. I support the classroom pets.

Do they only read the one book or do you allow them to read more than one book during the 15 minutes? Who do they retell the story to themselves or a friend or the teacher.
They can use any books in their book tub and are encouraged to do so. They retell to themselves if it's read to self or to their partner if it's read to someone.
😮
How are you doing Molly. When you say to practice one rotation until they master it before moving on. How do you do that. Is it whole group on the rotation?
yes, the whole group is doing it at the same time.
Why don't you have students read to a partner? When starting do I just introduce Read to Self until they build the stamina and nothing else? Do I introduce two stations and choice boards?
@@YvonneCarabello hi! I actually have videos on every question you asked! Want a link or two?

Once your students reach the 15-minute stamina, do you put away the stamina chart until the next year?
@@MaestraYValdez I leave it up for the first month of school or so. ☺️
@@literacyfundamentals Thank you 👍
@@MaestraYValdez Of course! 😃
Hi there! Are there any other website or apps you would recommend for a listen to reading station?
Hi! I usually recommend Sora, Storyline Online, & Epic. Definitely check with your media specialist because they can usually recommend safe options for Listen to Reading for your school. 😍
Do you still offer workshops? I’m moving from K/1 to a 4/5/6 split, and I am nervous!
Yes! I just hosted this workshop again this week. You can snag the replay here: molly-wheatley.mykajabi.com/daily-5-workshop
Hello, I am a first grade teacher, and I used Daily 5 last year. While I loved the structure, I also felt as though calling students to the carpet in between each round took up valuable instruction time. Since the point of Daily 5 is giving students choice in the order of their activities, how do you maintain that element while pre-assigning their choices on the Smart Board?
I've had them "vote" on their choices and preprogram them each week!
This was a very well-made video and I enjoy hearing about what you like about Math Daily 3 but I’ve watched several of your videos and still don’t understand what the different stations are-what are the other groups/stations doing when you’re teaching one small group? I’m sorry if I just wasn’t able to track down the video where you explain all that
The other students are working independently on tasks that relate to the whole group lesson or a math skill.
Same question: could you post a sample book club lesson? I am taking your course on July 25!
I could try at some point. It's hard to do when I don't film kids. 🤔
