I began using the Daily Five this year.
Love it!
I'm super-psyched for next year because the 2nd grade has used it this year too. That will make things easier for me in the fall.
Mrs. Maiolo's Classroom: I heart the way she switched the letters in CAFE around to spell FACE. I'm totally on that. However, instead of the little post-its to show what a child is working on, I plan to laminate head shots of all my little friends to mark their spots.
Get it? FACE. Their faces. Cute, huh?
Mrs. Croak's Classroom: Mrs. Croak's Cafe Board is unlike any other I've seen. It's a creative use of space. My room is a good size, but wall space is limited so this alternative is really appealing.
Mrs. Kady: Mrs. Kady's Book Nook system is adorable. This would also be great for pairing reading buddy's for the Read to Someone block.

Oh great links! I think I am going to try Daily 5/CAFE for 2010-2011. I love their stuff so much and so many creative people have spent a lot of time making super fabulous stuff to go with the program. Lovin' it!
Sunny: I've really liked the bit that I've dabbled with and am looking forward to implementing even more next year. The thing that I enjoy most about D5/CAFE is that you can use it with any reading series of none at all. I heard that there was a really good user group on yahoo for D5. I'm going to check it out this summer.
Thanks for your wonderful blog, I just found it last week and love it :) I was wondering if you do Daily 5 and literacy stations? I am used to doing literacy stations (I love Debbie Diller), but am trying to figure out if it's a good idea to try adding Daily 5 instead with the Houghton Mifflin curr. my district has been given this year. Any advice would be much appreciated :)
