Today's Top Find: Center in a Minute!

It's that time of year...

Instagram is blowing up.   Facebook posts are exploding... 

and my Twitter feed keeps on chirping!

It's...

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PREP TIME!

And if you are anything like me, you are trying your best to make every waking moment count!

You want to "PRE-prepare" (Ooh!  I like that newly created word!) as many things for the upcoming school year as humanly possible.

Well, my friends... Today I found a gem of a resource that I can prepare in just a short amount of time that is going to help me out IMMENSELY this school year.  

Let me set the stage... 

Your plan is to get into work a little early to prep a small group activity for a few of your kinder-groups.  Well...you intentionally hit snooze a few too many times accidentally oversleep, make it into school a little late...then get side-tracked my the staff "talker"...  AND your principal informs you that you have a last minute mandatory meeting during your prep time... leaving you with no prepared small group game/activity for the day.

EVER HAPPEN TO YOU???

Well, folks.. Here is your answer to that dilemma!  

These little sets are the PERFECT resource to buy now and PRE-prep for the year!  Anytime you have "one of those" days... WA-LA!  You pull out one of these babies... and your are ready to go!

   

   

   

   

 

Each center is based off of a Kindergarten Reading Foundational standard and allows students to work on phonological awareness, phonics, or a combination of the two.  There are two options for playing - Memory and Go Fish - using the same set of cards.  Both are easy to understand and require little teacher direction. 

LOVE.THEM.   

Furthermore, these sets include multiple half-sheet "exit slips" so that you can use these centers during RTI or Literacy Centers! {If you're not familiar with exit slips, they are a quick assessment that you can do at the end of a lesson/activity to assess student performance on a particular skill.}

Check out this example...

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

{Insert HAPPY DANCE here!}
