cdmom Nov 5 @ 8:12 PM EST

#1stchat I don't remember how long I've been doing the daily 5 but I have loved it. The structure was what I need to teach reading with.

A3: Much more flexible seating and less teacher space. I now have as much space as my students. #1stchat

valruckes - Moderator Nov 5 @ 8:19 PM EST
