I am so happy to be back again at DRE teaching 4th grade! It is always so heartwarming to see familiar faces as you walk through the doors and hallways each day! It is also wonderful this year to meet new friends and DRE family! I am very fortunate to have two wonderful new teammates, which I look forward to learning from throughout the year.
One of the exciting things that is going on right now in all of our classrooms is the incorporation of Daily5 and CAFE into our Language Arts time. When I read the books four years ago, I was anxious to learn more! It is so amazing to have the opportunity to work with our wonderful staff to learn and share experiences in our adventure of creating a wonderful learning experience for all types of learners.
As I search for creative tips and tools to incorporate the Daily 5, I have also met other educators on Twitter that are searching/sharing the same thing! Did you know that many educators meet on Friday evenings to chat about the daily 5? Check out #daily5 on Twitter to learn more! My wonderful PLN has provided so many resources that I wanted to share some of them with you! Take a look at the links that I have bookmarked!
I have also discovered another wonderful site loaded with daily 5 ideas- Pinterest! It is a great bulletin board where teachers share amazing ideas. Take a look at my Daily5 pinboard loaded with ideas from other educators! There are so many wonderful resources online that you can incorporate into your classroom!
