September Centers

Our math and literacy centers have been going great! We are mainly practicing working in a group, taking turns, and doing our best work.  I’ve kept the centers very basic so we can accomplish these goals.  The kiddos are doing fantastic!

Here is a peek at some of the activities we’ve been doing during math and literacy centers:

Super simple patterning practice.

These shakers are from Lakeshore.  I don’t think they make them anymore :(

Roll and write the letter.

We used the Lakeshore letter play dough stampers for this center.   We used orange Kool-Aid play dough! Fun!

Roll and trace the beginning sound.

Sweet and simple!

I’m trying to get my Apple unit done, friends.  Somehow I managed to slip a disc in my neck  – which resulted in my doing absolutely nothing for the past 2 weeks!  The weekends consisted of sitting on the couch in pain.  My pain is better now, but I’ve lost feeling in my thumb and part of my arm, which makes it hard to work! I’m trying hard to get it done for you though – hang in there!

Where did you find the great cubes to make the picture dice? I love that you don't have to cut and tape it together!

Hope you feel better...I was wondering if you were going to make the activity pages you do with your centers available for download? I'm thinking the roll the dice and write the letter one?

Ms.M said...

OMG, you poor thing. Please take it easy and rest, rest, rest.

Your centers look absolutely amazing.

OUCH! I've had whiplash a few times--not nearly as serious as a slipped disc, but I can empathize with your pain. Sending prayers your way!

Your activities look great. My kinders LOVE literacy and math stations. Our mornings just zoom!
