We are busy this week getting accustomed to our center routine. The class has been divided into five groups of four and rotate through three centers each day. There are not many "paper/ pencil" centers. Most of the centers involve some kind of manipulative. We are using pictures of the class in two of the centers giving the children a chance to match names with faces. They are working with color words, magnetic letters, beginning sounds and visiting the listening center. We will continue these centers through next Tuesday and will begin similar centers next Wednesday. The beauty of centers is that the children are able to reinforce new skills while working with a small group and with me. It is a very important part of our day and really helps them mature and become more independent.
Friday we will have our special apple centers for our Apple Day celebration. Be sure to follow the link to check out last year's Apple Day Glog for a sneak peek of our upcoming Friday fun.
