Hello friends! Today I’m joining a fabulous group of friends for an online book study of The Daily 5. Over the course of the next 8ish weeks, we’ll be taking a close look at the newest edition of the book and seeing what it looks like in real classrooms. I hope you’ll be joining us....

Take a look at how I set up my class and organize my stations for a successful start to Daily 5 in kindergarten.
