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.

Daily 5 2nd Edition Chapters 5 and 6 or “Make it your own and make it work!

But what should you do when you only want to use one page from a document to send to students. How can you extract just that one page? Unfortunately, ... 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. I feel like I’ve made it my own, and my kinder friends have found great success with it. So when the Freebie girls threw around the idea of doing a second ‘The Daily 5’ book study on the new 2ndEdition, I knew that I wanted in. I needed to know what ‘the sisters’ had in store for us now. So if you're interested too, just make sure you stop by ... VIEW POST
