I can't get into my room until end of August which is too late. trying to stay calm as i'm totally a type A personality as well. thanks for continuing to inspire. I also dabbled into daily 5 but plan to use it fully this year as i have a split grade and think having centres like I did last year is too work intensive. wishing you good luck with the rest of your set up.
