The Daily 5 craze is all around us. I'm jumping on that ship for sure!
I can't lie, I'm super nervous. I actually really loved the way I ran my choice centers before {you can see how I did that here}, but they were A LOT of work switching them out every 2 weeks, making copies {we're doing a paper crack-down at my school}, and finding missing pieces all over the room! I felt like they were pretty meaningful, but not as much as I'd like. So hence the switch to Daily 5. Enough of my sob story! :) I'm thinking of ways to do "Work on Writing". Since I have a separate time for my kiddos to work on their daily journals {I like checking and helping the students edit their journals each day- I'm not sure I could find time for that if we did it during Daily 5}, I have to think of a few options for my kiddos to do during "Work on Writing".
I think I'll organize my "Work on Writing" like this:

Here's my idea for "Work on Writing". Each week there will be:
1. A themed writing page {Valentine's Day, Easter, etc.} like this one:
2. Writing prompt cards in case they can't think of anything to write about:
3. Blank writing pages
4. Lists and list ideas

5. And one I forgot, but a reader reminded me {thanks Lesson from my Boys} is the option for the students to write to the friends! I whipped up some different writing stationaries {11} and here some examples:

Do you have any questions or more ideas for "Work on Writing"?
