And because of time constraints, I don’t have the time for them to visit 5 stations for 20 minutes each day. It’s not that I think choosing is a bad thing, I simply find it easier for me in my class, to have students assigned to each station and offer choices as part of the station itself.

Like with my math stations, I am hoping to give you a glimpse of Daily 5 and how it looks throughout the year in my own classroom. Because hey, if you can avoid and learn from my mistakes, then it makes them even more valuable.
