☀️Much more on Learning Centers Made Simple!☀️
Hello everyone!
This is part 3 of using centers in your classroom…
Have you wanted to try centers in your classroom, but
weren’t sure where to start? Have you
tried centers and not been successful?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, read on and I will try
and answer some basic questions teachers often have about centers.
Welcome to a center-based classroom!
Imagine walking into your classroom and
seeing students in small groups working cooperatively. One group sits at a
center with the teacher for guided reading instruction. Another group of
children work at a theme center sequencing the life cycle of an insect. At the
next center, students work together restructuring a story with sentence strips.
The teacher signals for attention; the students quiet for directions. Students
clean up their centers and rotate to the next center, going right to work. Centers can be done simply with the helpful
hints we give you here. Read on and
make centers a reality in your classroom!
💜💜💜
By providing a center-based environment
in your classroom, you will be able to give your attention to small groups of
children during “guided reading.” Research shows that this small-group
instruction is one of the primary components that leads to strong readers.
Centers also allow you to teach to all the student levels that are in your classroom.
Your choice to run centers in your classroom will also teach your students how
to work cooperatively in small groups. Learning centers allow you to teach
“responsibility” as students work independently, practicing and
reviewing skills and concepts at each
center.
💜💜💜
Q: How does a center-based
classroom look?
A: Many teachers use tables and desks
against the walls in
their classroom. You can use student
desks as a center, too.
During center time, the desks will be
empty and small groups of children will be sitting at centers throughout the
room. The teacher at guided reading will have her/his back to the wall in order
to see all centers at a glance from where she/he sits.
💜💜💜
Q: How many adults do I
need to run centers in my classroom?
A: Just you! When you teach the routines
and procedures of
your centers well, your students will
learn how to work without supervision during center time.
💜💜💜
Q: How long is center
time?
A: That depends on you and on how many
centers you have
each day. If you have five groups of
students rotating through five centers and spending 15 minutes at each center,
then you will need 1 hour and 15 minutes for center time. Six groups of children
rotating through six centers will need an hour and a half. Remember to add a
little extra time for the rotation of
groups when determining the time you will
allot for centers.
💜💜💜
Q: When it is time to
change centers, how do I get my students’ attention?
A: Ringing a bell or calling out “freeze”
or “give me five” are great ways to call your students to attention. Teach your
students to “freeze” when the signal is given and to listen for instructions.

☀️More Learning Centers Made Simple!☀️
Hi everyone,
Let's continue on our discussion on running a center based classroom. Let's take a look at the answers to some common questions teachers have as they get started!
Questions and Answers!
Q: What is a center?
A: A center is a physical area in a classroom
set aside for a specific
learning purpose. The center has
appropriate materials and supplies
so students can work individually or in
cooperative groups.
💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Q: How many students
should I put in each group?
A: We recommend three to four students in
each group at each center.
💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Q: How long do students
spend at each center?
A: Twenty to thirty minutes at each
center is an adequate amount of time for students to complete
most center activities.
💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Q: How do students know
where to go when it is time to rotate centers?
A: By teaching and practicing the
routines and procedures you want followed at center time, your
students will know what you want them to do. We suggest you follow a
clockwise rotation pattern to rotate students through
centers.
💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Q: How do I group my
students for centers?
A: To teach to the varied levels in all
classrooms, we suggest you group your students by reading abilities. By
grouping students this way, you can meet the instructional needs of all your students
in language arts. Learning centers will allow you to teach to your low, medium,
and high ability groups and move everyone forward.

☀️Learning Centers Made Simple!☀️
Hello everyone!
Have you wanted to try learning centers in your classroom, but
weren’t sure where to start? 🌋
Have you tried centers and not been successful?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, read on and I will try and answer some basic questions teachers often have about math and literacy centers.

If you answered yes to either of these questions, read on and I will try and answer some basic questions teachers often have about math and literacy centers.
Let's start with the basics! 🅱
What does a center-based classroom look like?
A well-run center-based classroom will have small groups of children working independently at all of the centers, the teacher leading a small group at the guided reading center and perhaps a parent facilitating another center. The children will be engaged in the activities, well trained about the procedures, and involved in their own learning.
