Daily 5 choice-how does this work?

[Lindalzn]

If the students are choosing one of the daily 5, what happens when I call a group or an individual and he/she is engaged with read to someone or working on words with someone or listening to reading? I would be interrupting their partnerships and there would a computer that someone else could have used? Not sure how to manage that. Thanks so much!

A great way to solve this problem is to do this. Plan ahead which students you will be conferring with during a round. Before students make choices, tell those students that you will be conferring with them, so they should save read to someone or listen to reading for another round. If they know you will be calling on them, they are less bothered about stopping for a bit.

Thanks sera! Planning will be key!

There is a calendar you can print and use to help keep track of who you confer with, and who you need to see. Here's a link to the paper-copy on the website:

If you use the CCPensieve, the calendar there is very user friendly and easy to keep up with:
