Hello all you fabulous teachers,

I teach in South Australia and have recently been introduced to the Daily 5 and Café Book.

I have a passion for teaching year 1s and 2s and developing their comprehension. You know the kids who read beautifully but then…hmmm what was it about…!!!

I am planning a trip to North America later next year and was wondering if I could come and visit any of your classrooms for observation… P’haps spend a few hours with you and just admire how you set it up and run the daily 5. I currently have year 2’s, but 2015 will have a composite year 1 and 2 class.

I am hoping to attend a conference (Las Vegas looks available) and then I have many friends in Canada…

BUT I am also looking at spending time in Seattle…any takers for classroom visits. I can do some Australian payback lessons!!! (Chicago and New York are also on my agenda…plus Vancouver!)

I have been a teacher for (omg) nearly 3 decades! I have done 2 teacher exchanges to Canada…Alberta and Ontario LOVED it!!!

I would love to touch base with any interested people…

Regards

Angela Klenke

Hey and we could reciprocate any visits to Australia :smile:

What a fabulous trip you seem to be planning!! I’d invite you to my school, but it doesn’t sound like we’re on your travel agenda. I’m in San Antonio, TX. I hope you’ll get lots of offers to visit.
Do you know the Sisters are coming to Australia next July? It’s at a reading conference, and I can get you the info if you are interested.
Also, are you a Facebook fan? Do you know about the SA Daily 5 page which is a site started by teachers across Australia? Others can join, too (I did), but it’s full of ideas from teachers like you who are sharing great ideas. You should check it out!!
Have fun planning your trip, and I hope you get lots of offers to visit here in the States.

I would be interested in knowing when the Sisters are coming to Australia. We have begun to implement Cafe and would benefit from some professional development.

I found out this information from The Sisters about their visit to Australia:
“We will be speaking at The ALEA National Conference in Canberra, July 3rd - 6th.”

Thank you for that information…I am hoping to get to Canberra in July…fingers crossed!!!
Are you on facebook?
You mentioned a SA Daily5 member on facebook, but I can’t seem to find it!
I don’t suppose you have the exact wording… I’m keen to see their page.
Thanks for all you great information

I kind of turned the name around :). It’s Daily 5 (SA), and here’s the link to their page.
