The Literacy Centre board is really easy...Hi Toni,<br /><br />The Literacy Centre board is really easy for both the students and myself to use. Everyday I have about 45 min-1 hr for Guided Reading time (which is when my other students follow the lit. centre board). I give them anywhere from 10-20 minutes at each centre (depends how long my GR time is). They start at centre #1 and stay there the entire time I am with my first Guided Reading group (10-20 minutes). All of the activities are open ended, meaning they are free to explore that centre to the best that they can. For example, if they are at Word Work, I may put out a sight word activity where they have to fill in the blank sentence with a sight word. They keep doing this until I ring the bell. Then they tidy up and I call the 2nd reading group to meet with me and students move to the second centre. If, for example, the second centre is Playdough, they know to take the Playdough mats (I have mine available on TpT) and roll out playdough snakes to form letters, words, etc. They just have to stay and work quietly at that centre with the others in their group until I finish my reading lesson and ring the bell. I do this with all 4 reading groups. So each day students will be called for their reading groups once which means that they will miss one centre activity (I change this each day, Monday I may call reading groups 1,2,3,4 and then Tuesday start with 4,3,2,1, etc.) At the end of the day, I simply move the group cards down so that they start a new row of centres for the next day. I don't do lit. centres on "Fun Friday". Hope that helps. If there is a centre sign you would like to use that you don't see, please let me know and I would be happy to create one for you! :)<br />AlessiaAlessia Albanesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133216826058576166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760352077844279314.post-70267264347236210992011-07-02T15:49:06.046-04:002011-07-02T15:49:06.046-04:00Love your website and ideas!

Are the student groups allowed to choose any of the 1-4 centers during your literacy center time? How do you know if they are completed?<br />Thanks so much!<br />Toni EToni Eckleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760352077844279314.post-83840213852558225192011-07-02T12:15:50.461-04:002011-07-02T12:15:50.461-04:00How about some free online stories for literacy ce...How about some free online stories for literacy centers.

For the Sand Search I put a variety of things in my sand box...magnetic letters, small items (such as a very small plastic frog, watermelon, spider, etc.) and the kids have to dig them up and sort them according to beginning sound, etc. I try to change things often. This works well too...save the metal lids from frozen juice cans (or ask parents to send them in). Paste a picture (clipart) on one side and on the other write the letter the word starts with. Have a second set of can lids and write only the letters. Children find the matching picture to letter on the lids. You can also do this for word families, numbers, etc. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions...I would be glad to help!<br /><br />AlessiaAlessia Albanesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133216826058576166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760352077844279314.post-8432196216878161422011-07-02T04:27:43.647-04:002011-07-02T04:27:43.647-04:00Lovely blog with great ideas!
