Don’t you LOVE it when you do back to school, thinking…
“Man, I am going to be SO ready since I worked all summer to make my classroom better than ever!”
THEN you discover that you are in WAY over your head!
specifically for Daily 5 with freebies along the way.
Here is my Daily 5 choice board.
{The pack you can buy also included check off sheets and so much more.
It is a HUGE time saver!!!}
Here is the board in action.
And here is an up close version.
Here is my classroom library.
I do not give my kids the FULL selection of books,
but I give them access to the books I have already introduced.
After reading each book, I show my students how to sort the books into the labels bins.
After a few week, I will put a selection of books away and
intro another selection based off what we will be learning about.
I love these labels because they are exactly what kinders need to “read” and sort books.
There are a TON of labels to chose from!
We are NOT teaching students to select their own books just yet.
We are teaching them the 3 ways to read a book and
using the reading strategies to check for understanding and using the pictures.
We used the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What You do See?
we used them for ALL our read alouds this week.
read during their Read to Self time while they practice using
“Use the Pictures” strategies for Brown Bear.
I have a HUGE pack of strategy cards {here.}
I have K common core cards {here.}
I have first grade common core cards {here.}
You can check some of them out below.
prob should have done this a LONG time ago
regardless.)
BUT I found this one from Cara Carroll for FREE!!!
eventually change my clocks to color code hour and minute hands.
You can grab them {here} for free!

Thanks for sharing those cute freebies. Where did you get your plastic book boxes?
Love that you do not put all of your books out for your class. So many seem to be doing that. I will do what you do! Great bins! Where did you find them?

Those bins are from Really Good Stuff. I LOVE not putting out all my books. I think it is just too much for 5 year olds. This teaches them where to put things, plus it allows me to file MY books back in my units easily.
I love your schedule cards! Already have mine laminate and ready to use! I do have a question, though. Is there any way to get an editable version of one of the cards. We have leap to read at our school and I would love to have one that says that. Thanks for any help!
Thank you so much for this free schedule! Need a new one for my classroom 😀
Thank you so very much! Such a gift for our son which is Down syndrome! : )
I would love those schedule cards for my classroom. You have some great ideas.
Thank you very much for sharing your fun ideas!
