By now I think we have all read the Daily 5 and thought about how it's going to be implemented. In hearing from many of you over the holidays it seems that you are all excited by this new approach at MACC to Literacy learning this year. I've listed here the resources and links that lots of you have been sending around via twitter and email so they are all in the one place.

I'm sure there are heaps more but this is a good start!
The one BIG question that keeps coming up is.....how do we store Good Fit Books?
20+ containers n the classroom will take up a great deal of spaces along with a big chunk of the budget, when you times the price per book box 275 times! So is there an alternative?

Good point Deb. I am excited and a little nervous about implementing the Daily 5, because I want to make sure I do it justice. I was amazed by how much modeling is used. Fantastic reminder for all KLAs too. I am not sure about storing the good fit books. Maybe 1 between two? How about those thicker folders?
It's natural to be excited and nervous all at the same time when giving something new a bash G! I think the best thing is not to rush it all.....spend the time modeling, building the anchor charts and really making sure it's ingrained before rushing ahead. I think we will really need to support each other through the implementation process and keep talking to each other.
@komos72 told me that most people she knows use extra large ziplock bags and store in group tubs around the room due to the cost of book boxes. Do you think we should give these a try? They are cheap and wouldn't take up as much space as boxes.
Yes I think that would be a great idea to start. I'll send you a photo of the folders I'm referring to as well, just to show you.
@komos72 seems to have a lot of experience in this area so maybe we should try that? By the way LOVING the CAFE book! Still trying to get my head around all of it, but I agree with you, don't rush and share ideas.
I'm with Mrs Downes! I'm so excited to implement the Daily 5 but I really want to do it justice, so I'm a little nervous. I can't wait to start some of the lessons. I'm loving the CAFE book as well.
