First week centers

I am still adjusting to our new schedule (we eat lunch an hour and a half after the kids arrive at school). We took four days to do four centers (among other activities) and on Friday we started four more. I let the kids decide which centers they go to (limit of five per group) but they all go to all of the centers. I can already tell that I have 5 or 6 kids who are reading and most of the other kids know all or most of their letters.


 The centers are also meant to introduce the kids to the abc/word work centers that they will be using during Daily Five.


The four new centers we started included some in math and some in reading.

Using the ladybugs to explore numbers 1-10.

Counting bears and exploring new manipulatives

Matching coconuts and numerals to 20

School Day Colors emergent reader

We finished our Chicka Boom Boom trees.  We use dotters for the borders, torn paper for the leaves and trunks, and sticker letters (dollar spot at Target!).

How was your first week back?
