SO MANY RESOURCES OUT THERE ON THE WWW!

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.
