Daily 5 start up

I've read the book, scoured the internet and done a lot of thinking.  I have decided to start Daily 5 in my room this year.  I LOVE what daily 5 is and what it stands for and I haven't been this inspired to try something new in, well, ever!  But...there is so much information out there and even just sticking to what the book says is a little overwhelming.  So I'm asking for help from those teachers who have done it before me.  Please leave some comments on what worked and didn't work for you.  I'm really curious and can't wait to hear what everyone has to say!  Also, if you know other bloggers that may be able to help out, please send them my way!

Thanks!

My Promise to My Students

Clutter Free Classroom is hosting a New School Year Resolution Linky Party! 



Every year I "promise" myself to stay organized, put things away, have nice neat piles, but the truth is I just live better in organized chaos.  As soon as I put something away, I can't find it!

So this year I'm making a promise to my kiddo's...my promise is to stick to Daily 5, no matter how hard, tricky, unlike me, it may be!  I have read the book and totally LOVE IT.  It seems practical, makes total sense and is basically exactly what I've been doing, just more regimented.  I'm excited to start it out! 

Do any of you have any tips for starting Daily 5?!?!
