During our literacy hour each day, the children do a literature extension assignment. When they
finish this activy, they go to one of the learning centers in our classroom.
Here are some of examples of the learning centers in Room A-10. (under
construction)
Read the Room- The children use pointers and "reading glasses" to read our
poetry and song charts, bulletin boards, and books in the room.
Write the Room (also called Clipboard Cruising)- Children walk around the
room, copying favorite words or searching for words that contain a given
phonic element.
Word Family Center- Children build word families on poster charts
Spelling Center- Children practice spelling words from the current week or
previous week, using letter stamps, letter magnets and dry erase boards.
