Centers Centers Centers

Centers are one of those teacher things that every year I tell myself I need to be better at.... you know, kind of like organizing my classroom library, keeping my desk cleared, not bringing work home blah blah blah  The never ending teacher to-do list. But this year I am determined. (Just let me keep repeating that, right?)

Speaking of things I'm bad at...lol I've been terrible with Pinterest lately! I started off strong. Trolling, pinning, staring aimlessly and ever gawking, etc.  But I faded.  Well that changed today when I spent too much time on my old faithful friend.

Anyway, enough of the pointless memes and onto the subject at hand- Centers.  I need a successful implementation method.  Not another pocket chart...I have no room!!!  But this, this I have room for!  Through my troll on Pinterest, I cam across this gem: Teacher By The Beach. This part specifically:

How genius, right????

It's available in her TPT Guided Reading Bundle

It does your rotations for you and there is even a clean up slide in between the rotation that counts down for 30 sec.  I can't wait to implement it into my class this year.  So pumped!!
