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
