Centers Management in a Pre-K classroom

Hello All, I have finally decided how I am going to manage my centers this year. With 4 towers full of drawers and various other centers I need to keep the kids organized in an easy way. I have created 3 small clip charts to help me with this. One for literacy centers, one for number centers and one for exploration centers. The exploration center chart will cover my science and sensory centers. I made it simple on myself by just using ribbon and velcro dots (which I buy by the hundreds on ebay since they are so expensive!) You can get these charts in my TpT store by using this link: Jungle Clip Charts To assemble start with a piece of 1" wide ribbon and print your pages on cardstock. Laminate for durability. lue the header to the ribbon and place velcro dots on the ribbon, equally spaced to fit the center cards.
Place the rough side of the velcro dot onto the back of the cener card and attach to the ribbon. Add clothespins with your students name on them and you are finished. Hang these charts in your classroom and allow the students to choose which center they want to visit. How long and if they rotate is up to you. I prefer to give my students the entire allotted time in one center each day to allow for in depth exploraton and practice. Enjoy! Christine

Sight word freebie, ideas and more Dyslexia Worksheets!

Hello All, Today we had so much fun with our sight word from my freebie Snowflake Slap . First I laid out all of the snowflakes on the carpet. If the child could read me the word they could keep the card and crumple it into a snowball. Once all of the words were read and squished I told the class we could have a snowball fight! It was such great fun that we took our "snowballs" into another kinder classroom and attacked them. As the kids threw the sight word snowballs we made more snowballs and threw them into the crowd from leftover paper. It was great fun! Once we settled back into our classroom we placed all of the snowballs into a bucket and each child pulled a word. If they could read it they recorded it on the left side of the worksheet below, if they couldn't read the word they recorded it on the right. The ones most did not know were pretty consistent so I know which ones we need the most work on. So hop on over the TpT to grab your free copy of Snowflake Slap an

The Story of Creation Flip Book Freebie!

As many of you already know I am a Christian school teacher in a small private school. I have decided to start making my Bible craftivities into files for others to access for their own Christian classrooms or homeschools. I have just finished putting together my first file for a Creation Flip Book and it is listed for free on TpT. The file includes full picture instructions as well as an option for color or black and white. Throughout this year I plan to list each Bible story craftrivity I do in my classroom and then bundle them at the end of the year. I am also working on a God's Journal, similar to the poetry and math journals you see so often in classrooms theses days but this one will celebrate our faith. I would appreciate your feedback after downloading the file and sharing this with other believers. Please take a minute to follow me here on my blog and hop on over to TpT to get your free flip book file. While you are there please check out my other items and follow my store
