My next few posts will go into detail about my Morning Work, The Daily Five and Math Menu. I will probably say this at least 100 times...but I. LOVE. DAILY. FIVE! I love it so much that we adapted it to our math block and call it Math Menu (there are other Math Menus out there, but we picked the name 'menu' because the kiddos get to choose their choice) ! It changed the way I approach centers and I love how independent my firsties were!
Who else out there in blog land does The Daily Five???

My Kindergarten team and I are going to be trying out the Daily 5 this year. I can't wait to see how it goes!!
You will love it, pennies for luck! I used to teach Kindergarten, but looped up to first last year! I am going to help my Kindergarten team get started with D5 this year! I will pass on info as it goes along! :) Happy 4th!!
I will be doing the Daily 5 this coming fall for the first time, so I am looking for lots of ideas!
I have been interested in incorporating the Daily 5 in my classroom, but not sure where to start! Any suggestions?
I would love to incorporate it, too...but with ARI and our getting a new ("research based") reading series...I just don't know where I would fit it in. Each and every minute of the two hour reading block is basically spoken for and we're supposed to use the basal...ugh. Do you guys do small groups and intervention? It is mandatory here in Blount County....
Brittany ~ You will love it! I will post about it in more detail very soon!
Jessica ~ You are probably doing a lot of D5 stuff already...it is just a different way to structure centers, etc! :)
Jennifer ~ Yes, we do small groups and intervention daily! I pull the small groups while the students are working on their Daily Five choices. We have a little bit more freedom with the basal! It is hard to fit everything in, but D5 makes it easier!
D5 is great! And you can adapt it to your basal. I use the basal with it- we do mini lessons on the weekly phonics and grammar lessons. We read the story of the week in small groups and I use the leveled readers with my different strategy groups. It can be done :)
Ever since joining the blog-world a few months ago - I keep reading about the Daily 5. I'm really interested to learn more about it. I've seen the book...would you recommend it?

Thank you so much, meesabelle! :)
I've heard a lot of good things about the Daily 5, but I will be teaching first grade for the first time this year and would love to give it a try!
I also like that you call your math time 'Math Menu,' that is awesome that you let the kids choose!
Would you mind telling me more about the Math Menu??

I would also be interested in learning more about Math Menu please :)
Lauren and Kim ~ I will be posting about Math Menu this week! :)
I love all of your posts re: the D5 ! this will be my 3rd year to do it and I love the review and tips you include. Could you go into detail about your Math Menu? I have read Debbie Dillers Math Stations and am trying to grasp how I am going to do this? thanks so much..ellenbel5@yahoo.com
I am returning to teaching kindergarten this fall after 10 years of teaching other grades and teacher coaching. I plan to use the Daily 5 and am looking forward to getting ideas from your blog.
