Our first bell rings at 8:05, and students enter the building for class. Students eating breakfast may enter at 7:45. Our morning work between about 8:10 and when class starts is Daily Language. It is packet that students complete one half page daily section a day. At the start of class, Ms. Leom goes over the answers on the board. If there was something students didn't know or made a mistake, they are encouraged to erase it and fix it. It gives us an opportunity to work on editing, grammar, and every Friday there is a different specific skill. Even when Ms. Leom's Smart Board isn't working (the light bulb burned out), we make adjustments and go over the answers on the white board.

| Friday's Daily Language learning |

| First, we clarified the different terms. |

| Then, we were able to answer the examples |
We talk a lot about "clarifying" (making things clear) when we read. Ms. Leom does many think-alouds throughout the learning day to model the strategy of what her brain is doing to be a successful learner.
All students can be successful for Daily Language if they use their time, make an effort, and participate in class.
