#Centers for kindergarten classrooms how to

With these spinner centers students will know exactly HOW to complete each activity because the directions stay the same, ONLY the skill they are working on changes. I’m so excited to introduce you to these Year-Long Literacy and Math Spinner Centers for Kindergarten.

A Better Wayīut what if there was a better way? What if you could minimize these disruptions simply by keeping the independent activities consistent so students know exactly what to do? Yet still keeping them learning and engaged.because we all know that is SUPER important. (I am a BIG fan of this method!) Of course it’s important to model for students how to find the answers they need and have procedures in place like “ask three before you ask me”. Or maybe they don’t ask, maybe they sit and do nothing because they can’t find the answer to their question or figure out the directions. It can also be difficult if your students are constantly interrupting and asking “how do I do this?”. Sometimes planning and preparing centers for Kindergarten can feel overwhelming. Coming up with an endless amount of centers and small group activities and ideas to keep your students engaged can be daunting. I also love that centers for Kindergarten students gives them the opportunity to work independently and cooperatively with their classmates.īut let’s face it. It gives me the chance to work with students in small groups and allows me to focus on reaching my students where they are, in order to help them build the skills that they need to be successful. Centers have always been one of my most favorite times during the day.
