I often get emails asking about my kindergarten daily schedule. For the longest time, I couldn't imagine how it would be helpful to other teachers. However, I recently asked my Facebook followers about their own schedules and realized just how crucial it is for teachers, especially those new to teaching kindergarten or transitioning to a full-day schedule. The responses I received were so varied, it really hit home how useful it might be to share my own example of a typical kindergarten daily ... VIEW POST

Organizing Daily 5 Literacy Stations in Kindergarten and …a freebie for you.
Daily 5 Literacy Stations!!!! Holy email, you all have a ton of questions, and while I’d love to claim that I’m an expert, I can really only tell you how this works in my own classroom. As some of you know, I do a form of Daily 5 . . . We call it Daily 6 in my classroom. Even though six stations are going on in a given day, students only travel to three in a given day for 20 minutes each. So it looks like this on paper (no this isn’t my lesson plan but it is a good visual – I’ll ... VIEW POST
The Daily 5 Second Edition Book Study: Chapters 1 and 2
So I’ve just finished up my second year of my revised, made-to-fit-for-me version of Daily 5, and, honestly, it just gets better and better.

So if you're interested too, just make sure you stop by ... VIEW POST
Daily 5 2nd Edition Chapters 5 and 6 or “Make it your own and make it work!
Before I start this chapter review, I need to preface it with the fact that Daily 5 has been successful in my classroom mainly because I have been able to adapt it to my kindergarten students and their needs and behaviors. You can’t be afraid to do the same. Just because something doesn’t work, don’t ditch the whole philosophy! It's just like what we know about differentiated instruction . . . Assess, instruction, adjust! Each year that you do it, you will find ... VIEW POST
Setting Up For A Successful Year Of Daily 5 In Kindergarten
The beginning of the kindergarten year is such a blur. About halfway through it, you try to look back and figure out exactly how it all started. It gets difficult to remember the hard work and organization that it took to get your from there to where you are now, but by remembering the parts that went well and the parts that didn't, you can always improve each year. So I'm trying, desperately to make sure I document these first days of math stations and now Daily 5 Stations so I can adjust ... VIEW POST
Peek at My Week and Plans . . . Daily 5 Here We Go!
Well, I made it through the first week of school. In one piece and with my wits still about me. I call that a 'win.' I'm trying to get myself in some kind of routine to post my plans for all of you. Slowly but surely, I'm making my first attempt of the year. It's a bit tough when your class is still in the 'learning procedures and routines' stage and when you start school about three weeks later than everyone, but for what it's worth, here is a peak at my up-coming week. I'm linking up ... VIEW POST
