Hi, I am looking for two children's beach chairs for my ocean themed library center. I have looked everywhere without success: big lots, walmart, ebay, dollar store, target, etc. I would like two cheap folding unisex beach chairs. Does anyone have any ideas? I am frustrated. It is obviously not the time to buy beach chairs! Thanks for help!

I am starting to implement a center system in my classroom and I am wondering if you have any great ideas on how to set up a communication "tool" that highlights what center the students should go to. I was going to arrange them into 4 colour groups and then have a board with those 4 colour groups and then velcro pictures of their station beside their group to tell them where to go. Does anyone have any other ways of doing this? I'm sure there are hundreds and I'm open for ideas. 4 to 5 children can go to a center at a time.
I'm looking for any ideas for a center. I need something to put in our grammar center; specifically a singular and plural noun activity. I'm looking for ideas that don't include worksheets, but rather students doing something interactive. Thanks for your help!
