Disclaimer... and credit where credit is due!

This blog is simply my thoughts, ideas, and suggestions related to the Daily Five and Cafe. I give full credit to the creators of both Daily 5 and Cafe, Gail Boushey and Joan Moser, also known as The Sisters. I have attended their workshops, read their books, and subscribe to their website. Everything else, I've interpreted on my own! :)

Ambiguous

I think we have to be careful with our words
BEST PRACTICE
and think about who is listening when we use them
RESEARCH BASED
or how they may be interpreted
FIDELITY
by those who just like to toss out those catch phrases
DATA DRIVEN
so that they can capture our attention
ACCOUNTABILITY
before we quietly close our doors
RIGOR
and teach our children.


*Ah, this helps me to let out a big sigh of relief. Had to put it out there. I also cross posted this at my other blog. :)

    I absolutely LOVE using the Daily 5 in my class of 2nd graders. The kids are so independent and work so hard...and they are learning!

    Thanks for sharing your insights and ideas. Awesome!
