I purchased her math stations book earlier in the summer and have been working to get it ready to implement when we go back in a few weeks. <br /><br />I'm loving your blog! I'm headed to your archives now to learn more about rigor especially in writing. I don't feel like I do a good job teaching writing.<br /><br />✪Crystal✪<br /><b><i><a href="http://strivetosparkle.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Strive to Sparkle</a></i></b>AthenaPhoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659579692661778157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708538586034027731.post-9649741917201985052012-07-14T21:10:51.905-07:002012-07-14T21:10:51.905-07:00I love that Justin Bieber idea!

And he made a face when he opened them and just threw them aside. My friend explained-we don't really read with him, he likes movies, not books. :0 I have so many fond memories of my mom reading to us-it just surprises me kids today don't get that experience at all. (I ended up long-winded too! :)Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708538586034027731.post-6514658167660205902012-07-14T18:51:53.314-07:002012-07-14T18:51:53.314-07:00I absolutely LOVE Debbie Diller!

No one comes into my classroom reading, knowing letters, or even colors & shapes. Most have not had ANY lap reading time until they have gotten read to by me. They enter my door at about a 3 year old level, so I have found that work stations work great for me & my students. I just love how I can give them activities that are developmentally appropriate & help them make up for lost time! Thanks for this post! Sorry my comment is so long winded! ;)<br /><br />~Jen<br /><a href="http://jenskinderkids.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jen's Kinder Kids </a>Jen's Kinder Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745405281461700428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708538586034027731.post-72783801376600962232012-07-14T14:56:59.498-07:002012-07-14T14:56:59.498-07:00Thanks for your comment Christine.

I did some adjusting amd made things work for me. I teach Pre-K and had 14 students last year. I started off by showing them ,repeatedly, how to do each "station" as a whole group. We would all read to self at the same time starting with 2 minutes and building to 15. When reading groups came around in January the class was all set to move through each area quietly and knew what was expected of them. I love daily 5 for pre-k with some adjustments and I also think Debbie Dilleer is awesome, wish she came to my city!<br />Thanks,<br />Christine<br />www.thecrazypre-kclassroom.blogspot.comChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694666657175719563noreply@blogger.com
