Doing the 5 in 2012 - Lets Go!!

Well we are gearing up for a full scale launch of Daily 5 this term from Kindy to Year 4. Even our Prep class is getting in on the action!

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?
