Okay, I know, there are soooo many teacher bloggers out there now talking about math centres...and I do love them too, but I just love getting literacy centres ready! (Actually, I am planning to purchase and read Debbie Diller's Math Centers Book next month so math centres is next on my 'to do' list!). I have used so many different Lit. Centre board task cards over the years...some were great, others I needed to make up. So a few years ago I created these for my class. They work really well as the students are able to match the small job board icon with the large icon card around the room at the centre itself. Today I finally got around to printing and mounting some more of these cards. Some centres are stored in bins (like Playdough and Write the Room) and the kids take them out as needed and place on one of our large group tables in the middle of the room. Others, like Puppets and Sand Search, are housed in one area all year long. I hope you will be able to use these task cards too (sorry, big books doesn't have an icon, can't get my scanner to work tonight!). The small ones fit in a standard pocket chart. Here is what it looks like (I am borrowing this image from my fabulous teaching partner, Mrs. Parisi, since I am off this year).
I am always interested in hearing what other centres teachers use!
P.S. My Back to School unit will be ready on TpT soon! Here's a freebie for you! (There are 2 copies, one with American spelling and one with Canadian spelling!)
Happy teaching!
