Cindy first of all best wishes in 2nd grade this was the
first year for me after many years of teaching older children.
Here are a few centers I have used this year.
Computer center- Have specified websites and software
programs kids can go directly to for your reading or math
centers.
Grammer,Usage, and Mechanics center- preprinted worksheets,
or workbook pages for the skills your working on for the week.
Penmanship center- cursive writing,or for those who still
have difficulty printing letters correctly.
Dictionarty/Vocabulary center- not to early to teach the
children dictionary skills. This helps them practice
printing, learn about guide words. parts of speech, word
pununciation etc...
Games - This is great! Start looking for reading games you
can make over the summer time. Kids love this! i have found
so many reading games surfing the net. This is very cost
affective. Some of these games will be great skill reviews
while the students have fun.
Have fun Cindy!!!!
