I found these great pages with links and documents galore to do with Daily 5.
This first link is terrific
http://k-5literacyconnections.weebly.com/daily-5.html
There are some videos to watch as well as some scheduling examples for 60 and 90 minute Daily 5 activities. There are also some good links to word work activities.
The second link has some excellent downloadable resources for D5:

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page for some fantastic downloadables.
Finally, this one is mostly for the Kindy teachers:

This is a wonderful resource in google doc format that I read about on twitter. I tweeted the owners and requested access to it and @MMEGrinder26 and @Mr_Fines generously shared their curriculum map for introducing CAFE and D5 in Kindergarten.
These are great people to follow on twitter and moderate the #Kinderchat hashtag. Lots of Kindergarten resources shared on this hashtag.

FIVE WEEKS INTO DAILY 5 and CAFE!!!
I'm so excited to see how far we've come in such a short space of time. I believe our research, preparation and trials during the second half of 2011 have meant that we have been able to really fly in 2012.
I'm very encouraged by the changes in students motivation toward reading and in the new language they are using to describe themselves as readers.
I'm so pleased with our amazing JS teachers who have done such a super job in delivering this new approach.
It is also super encouraging that we have 85 Parents wanting to come to a Parent Information session and learn about it as well.
As they say on the morning show adds......I'M EXCITED!!!
I'd love to hear your thoughts as well.
What do you love about Daily 5?
Do you believe it is having a positive effect on Student engagement and achievement?
Is there any part that has challenged you?
Do you see a future for Daily 5/CAFE in the years to come?
Happy posting!
