CAFE Freebies

Next year I will be use the CAFE and the Daily 5 in my classroom. I am starting to do some prep work to get everything ready. My team and I have already merged the Daily 5 and CAFE lessons for the first 22 days of school, where they are learning some of the beginning CAFE strategies and building stamina in Daily 5. It took a lot of work, but I am glad to have it all done. In the mean time I have been working on my CAFE board. I got these cute letters for Hobby Lobby and painted them to go on my board. I plan on using a black background on this board:

Today I was working on making the strategies cards and the Big Picture cards to go underneath. Here are what the Big Picture cards look like:

I also have completed the strategies signs that go under the C for comprehension!

I know the CAFE wants the kids to write the strategies on the note cards, but I think it just looks nicer this way! I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!!
