Daily 5/CAFE

There were three great book studies going on this summer over The Daily 5 and CAFE.  It didn't matter what grade you are teaching; there was something for everyone.  I needed a place to go where all the information was in one place as I needed it throughout the upcoming school year.

**This is a page in progress.  As the blog posts are published, I will update this page with the links.

KINDERGARTEN

This Daily 5 book study had two posts per chapter.  The first post introduced the hostess's thoughts on the chapter and provided guiding questions.  The second post (a few days later) was a linky party where other teachers shared their thoughts on the chapter.
