"Daily 5 is a structure that helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working independently that will lead to a lifetime of literacy independence." -The Daily Café
This week the students practiced Read to Self! During Read to Self the students choose their own books, a spot to read, and independently read. We read Dex: The Heart of a Hero and the discussed STAMINA! The goal for the week was 4 minutes! They went beyond the goal to 5 minutes. For five minutes the students followed the expectations of staying in one spot, reading the whole time, keeping their eyes on their book, and demonstrating IPICK. The goal for the year is thirty-five minutes. We will celebrate each step! 
IPICK is a strategy to help students choose a book!
