Math Center Organization

I have gone a little “crazy” and I am in blog overload! I realized that I have so much to share! So, bloggers BEWARE!!  J  First, let me begin by sharing a little bit about my classroom. I pull small reading groups in the morning (in my classroom) with second grade and work my afternoons with homeroom classes (in my math lab) with 2^nd, 3^rd, & 4^th grade). This is a view of the back of my classroom. The window keeps is bright and cheery!

This year has been a huge transition for me.  I had to sift through all of math center activities and see if they were common core compatible. In addition, to moving classrooms twice before the school year began. L Several of my center activities and lessons were misplaced. A colleague suggested that I use crates to file my math center activities. Place the file hanging folders with labeled lessons, math skills, grade, and standard, you have ready to go math centers whenever needed.
