We started Daily Five last week! We will finish 3 ways to read a book this week and begin our 1st Daily 5 choice- Read to Self. I'm very excited and know the kids will be too!

We've been learning how to pick out "Good fit" books for our book bins to read. We read The Three Bears to help with this concept of "Just right" books.
