Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome to my Daily Café blog.  A few notes:

• My goal is to post once a week.  Maybe twice, depending on how the week goes.
• I am looking at Daily 5 and Café from a whole school initiative.  I will be sharing with you glimpses into classrooms from teachers from across grade levels (1st-6th).  Each teacher is making sense of the Daily 5 and Café based on the students in their classrooms and their comfort levels.  None of us are experts, we are all learners and are willing to share our experiences.
• I will try to share with you some of the highlights from the classrooms and some of the areas that we are trying to find ways to improve. 
• We have, as a staff, read both the Daily 5 and Café books and have learned a lot from the 2sisters websites. 
• Because I will be positing from various grade levels, I will  try to keep a variety of lessons and be specific with which grade level I am highlighting.
• As a school we are focusing on Daily 5 at Kindergarten, First, and Second grade.  We begin to utilize Café in First and Second, but really emphasis it in our 3rd- 6th grade classes.
