Here are some pictures of my class...

Literacy Stations

Our literacy centers are organized on a crayon pocket chart.

 The children are in color groups, and each group reads its column of centers for the day from top to bottom.  The children go to the first center until the timer beeps (15-20 minutes later, depending how is spent with each reading group), then they go to the next center.

Our Reading Center

In the reading center, the children have a quiet, comfortable place to go to look and enjoy books. Our classroom library encourages development in the following area: concept formation, object labeling, peer and adult interaction, sentence structure, language, vocabulary growth, and a positive attitude toward reading and books.

Our Computer Center

When the children use one of our classroom computers, they are able to work at their own rate and practice their computer skills. Each child participates in SuccessMaker to practice their math and reading skills.  Knowledge Box is a program that we use which covers numerous concepts in reading, math, science, and social studies.

Literacy Tubs

 These are centers with manipulatives that work on letter/sound recognition, word/sentence building, rhyming words, and much more.
