Center Time


This week we statred our first round of centers. Students love centers and usually you can get a lot of work/practice done in a decent amount of time....but....it takes lots of planning on the teacher's part. We had centers on Tuesday and being the crazy teacher I am we did centers in both math and science that day. The kids loved it! Here are some pictures and you can tell they are really into centers and the tasks they have to accomplish. The computer is usually their favortie. Sometimes we play games in centers.Remember the CHALLENGE is on now for parents to play a math game with their student. I sent home the directions today and if you do not have a deck of cards at home, let me know and I will provide a deck.
Have fun!  And don't forget your science projects!




 Math Boxes. Work and check your own paper with the key.
 Playing the game Sum Sense...a favorite. Can you beat your own score?
 Let's practice some multiplication!
 Science tool match...this was self checking also.
 Do you know how to use a balance and find the mass of different objects?
 Exponents, factors and values! No wimpy math for us!
 More balance fun and best of all I get to join the fun!
