We Started Centers Today!

We started going to centers today!!  The kids have been waiting and waiting for this!  Students go to a literacy center to work on skill practice activities with a partner, while they wait for me to call their reading group to our group table.  I snapped a few pictures just for you, in between meeting with groups today.  Don't you just love their smiles?  Center time is always a 1st grade favorite, because it gives the kiddos time to get up and moving out of their seats/off the carpet and interact with a buddy...all while still learning, of course. :)  Here were some of today's top center activities:
