Well look who just showed up! Yep….February!
I blinked and January flew by and February swooped right in.
With my crazy and hectic schedule….I didn’t get my February literacy centers out early…. but they are DONE!
I did a Valentine’s theme, so I only created FIVE literacy centers. I mean…. you don’t want hearts and flowers and tons of pink for the entire month. There are some other great holidays and themes that tag along with February!
I also wanted to share a little bit about how I store my centers when we are NOT using them 🙂
(Trust me…. it’s nothing fancy… just simple!)
– – – – – –
So I printed and prepped all of my Valentine Literacy centers today (or my girly centers as some of my boys like to call them!) (Although I am sure they will LOVE doing them next week!)
Here is a quick look at each of them!
Center (1) – “Sweet Sentences” – Students are sorting telling and asking sentences!
Center (2) – “Long Vowel Love Bugs” (matching pictures with silent e & /ee/)
Center (3) – “Love Letters” – sorting picture cards to the “BLENDS” and “DIGRAPHS” mailbox!
Center (4) – “Cupid’s Complete Sentences” – sorting sentences that are complete and incomplete.
Center (5) – I Heart Contractions
So there you have it…. my FIVE literacy centers!
Random note – When I create my centers…. I really try to make them the most user-friendly when trying to prep! I always send the entire sheet through the laminator and THEN cut out the pieces. I always create my center cards to where you simply cut and they are ready! (boxes are attached!)
When I store my centers, I ALWAYS include each of the center pieces, title/directions card, and the recording sheet.
I place each parts of the center into the large manila envelopes! Sometimes I use the center title card and place onto the envelope to laminate, but usually I’m last minute and just write!
I have clear plastic bins for each season of the year…. and they are filling up quick!
(Back to school / Fall centers)
(Christmas / Winter (snowmen, etc…))
(Winter (valentines/presidents day)/ Spring)
(End of Year / Summer)
I am sure I will need to start adding additional tubs…. these are only my Literacy 🙁
