This is part 2 of a conversation I had back in November with a first year kindergarten teacher during one of my coaching sessions. During this part of the conversations we talk all about how to manage centers as a classroom teacher.

In this episode we cover:

  • The structure of centers
  • How I structure my reading, writing, and word work and make planning them easier
  • Giving students a choice of station to hold engagement
  • How often materials are switched out to keep students engaged
  • The ways in which to model writing and labeling for students
  • Managing the materials for kindergarten and when to allow kids free access
