Each grade level has a menu for students to use. They keep track of their centers for the entire month using these menus. They color in the box when they complete the center. Here is a picture of the kinder menu.
Each center is kept in a folder. The cover of the folder matches the picture on the menu.
Here are a few pictures of centers:
With these packs come tips about how I organize my literacy centers. It's amazing how much easier my life became when I started this system years ago!

I'm also having a quick giveaway that ends tomorrow. Two winners will win all three October literacy center packs!
Oh My Goodness! Winning those packs would be such a gift! I teach first grade and am having a hard time trying to incorporate centers this year. I have a wide range of levels in my classroom and would love to be able to pull children while they are working on something meaningful at their sesks. I have my fingers crossed.

I'm a brand new (student) teacher working with first graders-- trying to roll out centers. Great ideas here!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It can be really overwhelming when you begin. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
DeleteThese centres looks great, Sarah! And I'm always looking for ways to better organize my materials. Thanks
