PBS Western Theme

I’m looking for western fonts that I might use for our School wide Positive Behavior Support (PBS) theme for next year.
I really like Madfont and Pointedly Mad. I will probably use one or both of them with my Cricut Expression to cut out lots of letters for this year.

The Daily 5 in Kindergarten

A friend recently introduced me to the book The Daily 5 by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser at a conference we were attending. I had heard of the book in conversation, but never had the chance to look at it. After reading the introduction, I was hooked. My principal purchased the book for our school and I'm currently reading it. I am now on the lookout for all kinds of information pertaining to how to implement The Daily 5 in my Kindergarten classroom.

You can purchase this book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and many other book stores.

Here are a few links I found interesting.
