We've been working on how to "merge" these books into an effective Literacy Studio structure. If you're interested in seeing our notes or sample schedules, feel free to email me individually!

Log in, and go to Groups. Search for The_Daily_Five. Make choices on the screen (email address, etc.), and tell why you want to join.
