Hi guys --

I am starting 2 new units and need to create 5 rotating
centers for the new topics: magnets (2nd grade) and
communities (1st grade)... I thought I could draw on your
expertise for some creative approaches....

my first ideas
1) For magnets: put clipart of different objects (screws,
doll, sneakers, scissors, refrigerator) on index cards....
then i laminated them and attached a paper clip to the
underside of the cards that were magnetic.... i'm going to
lay the cards with the paperclip side down in a cookie sheet
or something flat like that and then put a magnetic wand
with it.... the kids have to predict which cards will stick
to the magnetic wand and then test them and record their data...

2) For communities: (1st gr): I found community helpers
cards that they can play concentration with or a matching
game.... one has a picture of a policeman and the
corresponding card says "...See More
