[MOSAIC] Daily Five/CAFE

[mrs. teacher]

Hi all! I am in my 4th year of using the Daily Five and my 3rd of using CAFE. I teach fourth grade. I read somewhere (not sure where) that the sisters recommend 3-5 teachers only doing 3 of the 5 "rotations" and that it is a personal program that you should modify to fit your students' needs. I have 45 minutes of CAFE time in my room (this is what we call it). Each day, students have the option of Read To Self, Listen To Reading, or Word Work. They never HAVE to do Listen to Reading but if they do, it can only be one day each week and they MUST do Word Work once a week. However, after the newness of Listen To Reading wore off, I rarely had students choose that one anymore. Therefore, most of my students have 45 minutes of sustained, self-selected, on-level reading four days a week. During this time, I conference with students, giving them purposes for reading that match their personalized CAFE goal. When I started this, we blocked and I was the reading teacher. We had 75 minute blocks and 45 of each one was spent doing CAFE time. Last year, we decided to self-contain (hallelujah!) and the other fourth grade teachers were excited to try it, as well. One of my team members from last year moved to second grade last year and now all of second grade is doing CAFE and Daily Five. I really don't know what I did before I found it. To me, it is what I should have always been doing but gave me the organization and structure that I was lacking in order to do what I knew needed to be done.

Thanks for sharing. I was moved to a new building this year and didn't do
Cafe for various reasons. That was a mistake. I am definitely going back
to it next year. Great structure for myself and the kids.

Subject: [MOSAIC] Daily Five/CAFE
Date: Sun, May 6, 2012 3:28 pm



Hi all! I am in my 4th year of using the Daily Five and my 3rd of using CAFE.
I teach fourth grade. I read somewhere (not sure where) that the sisters
recommend 3-5 teachers only doing 3 of the 5 "rotations" and that it is a
personal program that you should modify to fit your students' needs. I have 45
minutes of CAFE time in my room (this is what we call it). Each day, students
have the option of Read To Self, Listen To Reading, or Word Work. They never
HAVE to do Listen to Reading but if they do, it can only be one day each week
and they MUST do Word Work once a week. However, after the newness of Listen To
Reading wore off, I rarely had students choose that one anymore. Therefore,
most of my students have 45 minutes of sustained, self-selected, on-level
reading four days a week. During this time, I conference with students, giving
them purposes for reading that match their personalized CAFE goal. When I
started this, we blocked and I was the reading teacher. We had 75
minute blocks and 45 of each one was spent doing CAFE time. Last year, we
decided to self-contain (hallelujah!) and the other fourth grade teachers were
excited to try it, as well. One of my team members from last year moved to
second grade last year and now all of second grade is doing CAFE and Daily Five.
I really don't know what I did before I found it. To me, it is what I should
have always been doing but gave me the organization and structure that I was
lacking in order to do what I knew needed to be done.

This was my first year using Comprehension Connections and I also think
it is an excellent teaching tool for comprehension strategies.

There is also a great website with a ton of resources of games and activities that helps all learners. It is done by a speech pathologist and a teacher is our school. there are free activities and games and some that you can purchase as well. it gives an interesting and very beneficial spin to the connection between speech and language skills and struggling readers. The website is called www.readingresource.net. it talks about dyslexia but there is a ton of resources on the site and I highly recommend it.

Me too! Yes, I love the idea of the cafe; however, when does the conferring transpire? Mini lessons? etc.

Hi all! I am in my 4th year of using the Daily Five and my 3rd of using CAFE. I teach fourth grade. I read somewhere (not sure where) that the sisters recommend 3-5 teachers only doing 3 of the 5 "rotations" and that it is a personal program that you should modify to fit your students' needs. I have 45 minutes of CAFE time in my room (this is what we call it). Each day, students have the option of Read To Self, Listen To Reading, or Word Work. They never HAVE to do Listen to Reading but if they do, it can only be one day each week and they MUST do Word Work once a week. However, after the newness of Listen To Reading wore off, I rarely had students choose that one anymore. Therefore, most of my students have 45 minutes of sustained, self-selected, on-level reading four days a week. During this time, I conference with students, giving them purposes for reading that match their personalized CAFE goal. When I started this, we blocked and I was the reading teacher. We had 75 minute blocks and 45 of each one was spent doing CAFE time. Last year, we decided to self-contain (hallelujah!) and the other fourth grade teachers were excited to try it, as well. One of my team members from last year moved to second grade last year and now all of second grade is doing CAFE and Daily Five. I really don't know what I did before I found it. To me, it is what I should have always been doing but gave me the organization and structure that I was lacking in order to do what I knew needed to be done.

I use my own version of CAF? and Reader's Workshop and I conferred with my
kids about their CAF? strategies while my other students are reading. I'm
able to either pull individuals to meet or small groups.
