Some of you might be wondering how I do D5 with only 4 Rotations well....the students get through all of the D5 in two days. Each day they have small group and read to self. The other two rotations slots are either Listen to Reading/Read to Someone one day and the next day Word Work/Writing the second day. I don't allow the students to choose where they want to go. I wanted to get my feet wet this year before I made that BIG leap!
I love our reading block this year! This is the first year I feel like I am teaching reading and it is meaningful! During small group time I use an intervention program by Fountas and Pinnell called LLI. I am super excited because I have one group that has graduated from the program past a level N! I have two other groups that will graduate before the end of the month! I can't believe what a difference guided reading has made in my students reading. I honestly wish it was something our whole district embraced!
On to my Fairy Tale Unit! I will be using it during the Mentor Text Read Aloud time and it will be where I pull my Common Core aligned strategies from! I also included some word work that I will use during D5 to help reinforce skills I will be teaching!

These are the standards that are addressed in the unit!
This weekend has been jam packed already! We are putting our townhouse on the market therefore we are going through everything and deep cleaning! I am hoping it sells quickly but you never know with this market! Tomorrow will be much of the same thing....cleaning....cleaning...more cleaning! It will hopefully be worth it in the end!
P.S. The first two people who comment with their email I will send you my new unit for free!
Happy Saturday!

Good luck selling your townhouse. Hopefully, it is 'just right' for someone else and it sells quickly! I really need to deep clean, too...and we aren't moving!
Kelly, I love how organized you have your ELA block scheduled in the morning. Mine is very similar. Fairy tales are perfect mentor texts! Your pack looks great.
