So you know I'm working at moving my class towards Daily 5 right? I mean, in the past I did literacy stations and they were successful and everything, but I never felt like I got enough extended time with my students. It always seemed so rushed. I differentiated those literacy stations but still, I wanted more time. So Daily 5 seemed to be like something that fit the ticket.Right away, I knew that I would need to do some tweaking for kindergarten. First of all I had ... VIEW POST
Daily 5 Update and a Few Successes.
Playing Catch Up With My Daily 5 Plans
It's late start Monday (when we all get to meet with our grade levels for Professional Learning Communities work) today, so my Daily 6 (my version of Daily 5) stations are pushed back a day this week. The good news is that it gave me an extra day to collect some pictures to add to my visual plans for the week.

Chapter 3 and Time for a Freebie!
It's time for my reflections on Chapter 3! I love that we are getting into the nuts and bolts of D5 now.

So here's what I came up with while I followed along with Tammy's guiding questions:1. Establish a gathering place for brain and body breaks. (Do you call your gathering place anything special? A few of my teammates did. Annie called ... VIEW POST
Daily 5 BABY!!!!
That's right. It's all kindergarten and all Daily 5 and it's coming to you at the end the month by means of a book study. I have been reading and studying up on Daily 5 with my kindergarten neighbor, Kerri, for the last year. But you know, kindergarten is just such a different beast. So when there started to be talk about a book study for D5, I knew that I wanted in on it, but I also knew that kindergarten held some special challenges that we might not find in other ... VIEW POST
