Daily 5 in September

I am excited about a new school year.  I have been reading the Daily 5 and a friend of mine started it at the end of this year.  She teaches 2nd grade (I teach 1st) and she will be getting some of my students in the fall.  She loved it and the kids loved it too.  I am having tons of fun finding things online and reading how other teachers are making it work in their classrooms. 

For the past several years I have been teaching First Grade Inclusion and it has been wonderful.  We (my co-teacher and I) have been running centers on a daily basis and we are center experts.  I am the queen of setting up a rotation schedule. (See picture below)  Other teachers come to me when they have questions regarding centers and I have valued that.  Now as I am looking at Daily 5, I find myself nervous about how everything will run in my classroom. Nervous and excited.

This is our center chart.  It shows day 1 of rotation, and then the cards get switched for day 2 of rotation.  Students have 2 teacher centers and they go to all 6 centers per day. The colored dots by their name tells which teacher table they go to.  This allows center partners to be mixed ability, but same ability when they come to the teacher table.  It has been very helpful to do this. (I guess I won't be needing this chart for next year since I will be doing Daily 5).
