We've been back at it for a week and a half now and I'm slowly moving into some curriculum and working towards our daily schedule. One of the first things I like to start at the beginning of the year is centers. I do both Literacy and Math centers. You can read more about them here and here. I devote 20 minutes a day to each and the kids and I both love them! I spiral my center activities, meaning I only put things in centers that include concepts I've taught already. I want the kids to be independent during this time, so it's crucial that the activities I select are ones that they are familiar with. I start the year with my "Back to School BBQ" centers. It has very simple skills included in it, such as beginning sounds, number order, color & number words and lots more. I start out by grouping children heterogeneously and observe them to see how well they can work together. After a week, I make changes to the groups, depending on what I notice in terms of behavior and academic level. I really try to mix my high students with those that need more help. Peer coaching is a great thing!
