Daily 5/CAFE

This coming year, my school will be implementing the Daily 5 and CAFE by the "Two Sisters" Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.  I'm excited for this change as our reading basal was getting a bit boring.  I am even more excited because I will be going to their conference in August!!!  I have heard nothing but great things about their conferences and I am so glad that they finally made it to the southeast!

As part of the framework for Daily 5, kids will read to themselves.  The authors encourage the use of book bins so students can store their books.  Some use those cardboard magazine boxes, and I have seen others use cereal boxes.  I have tried these but they usually always fall apart.  So I invested in these book bins from

AWESOME WEBSITE!!!!!
I have been using their book bins for a few years now and I have only had to replace 2 (students accidentally stepped on them and they broke).  Since they are plastic, they clean up well too.  I just have my kids scrub them down with a clorox wipe during the last week of school and then I store them for next year.

I have also bought some other things from here and I am always pleased with the quality.
I have been pretty much convinced that anything you get from them, you will love!
