Our literacy centers are going strong. This week was our third week at literacy centers. Center time is one of the students' favorite times of the day. The children love this time because they get to work independently on all sorts of engaging activities. Our center time practices important skills related to their academic and social development. At each center, the students are in groups of 4. Center time is filled with social interactions so the children are practicing important social skills like sharing, taking turns, cooperating, using manners, polite conversation, and encouraging others. They are also learning to handle and clean up classroom materials. Of course, all this while practicing their literacy skills. While the children are busy working at their centers, I have time to pull small reading groups. In the small groups, we work on reading strategies. So many great things going on during reader's workshop.
