Every afternoon the students are paired together and they complete "academic centers". These centers build upon what we are working on in the classroom. The centers also change every few weeks depending upon the material. I love center time for three huge reasons:
1. It is a GREAT way to differentiate a child's work.
2. I meet with my "small group" (a time where I meet with two students at a time).
3. The students learn how to problem solve and work in a "team" setting.
I could go on and on about how valuable this time is, but I will spare you the chatter and just show you how great they are :).
Below is a picture of two students playing a letter name/phonics board game.
Here is a child working with bears on completing AB, ABBA and ABC patterns.
Number 1-20 number recognition is a lot more fun when you are fishing for them!
These two are working on color words while playing a game of memory.
This group is working on letter formation with allergen free playdough (greatest creation)!
Color words are a lot more fun to learn when you get to stamp them out!
These are only a few of the great centers we are working on.
Check back this week for even more :).
