The Daily Five is part of our everyday classroom life and learning. Most children have the stamina to participate positively and consistently but there is one child who finds this very difficult, particularly after a long weekend or holiday break or after returning from illness.
After spending some sessions redirecting this child and some ignoring him, I have concluded that redirecting him disturbs my teaching group and ignoring him means he achieves nothing and disturbs people around him. I may need to seat him near me and operate a reward consequence system for work achieved.
I have also discovered that there are two or three others who look as though they are participating while achieving very little, especially in Work on Writing. I have let these students know that I will be monitoring their output daily until they are able to self-monitor.
