In the Fall, we go on a nature walk and collect leaves and items. I find things like chestnuts and acorns on my bike rides and bring them in. We examine apples and pumpkins, inside and out.<br /><br />Around Thanksgiving we do an experiment with vegetables that sink and float.<br /><br />In the Winter we observe snow melting in the classroom. We have magnets during our space unit. <br /><br />We bring in stuffed animals and classify them. <br /><br />This is an area I could use some work in as well.<br /><br />Sue<br />theverybusykindergartenSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361308732882478024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324131567052068334.post-44064049567576446322012-04-21T22:53:07.113-07:002012-04-21T22:53:07.113-07:00Oh that's a great idea.

Can't wait to read your post. <br /><br />Yes I love, love, love having a student teacher.I get to have time to observe other teachers, provide some support and work on lots of other fun projects. Last year I worked on my alphabet literacy stations.Liz Mccawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206430427949015545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324131567052068334.post-92025928305381238412012-04-21T21:52:30.131-07:002012-04-21T21:52:30.131-07:00Having a student teacher can be a wonderful opport...Having a student teacher can be a wonderful opportunity to get some projects done (I always have great plans, but the time seems to disappear quickly). Your centres look great. You already have some of the "teacher store" items and I bet that a lot of what you want can be found at thrift shops or letting friends know what you are looking for in case they have it sitting in a corner of the basement. Right now I have magnets in my sand table. The kids are loving burying things in the sand and pulling them out with the magnets. I plan to post about it later in the week.<br />enjoy your non-stressed testing time (do you want to send your student teacher my way for a couple of days so that I can get some of mine done!)<br /><br />sandi<br /><b><a href="http://rubberboots%20and%20elfshoes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">rubber boots and elf shoes</a></b>Sandi https://www.blogger.com/profile/06934275490850696637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324131567052068334.post-72962896941056165742012-04-21T18:53:34.378-07:002012-04-21T18:53:34.378-07:00Honestly, I don't really have centers.

When I do small group work, I just tell them to go to a certain table or floor area and hand them a tub or game. So it's usually a game we have already played for math or some typical word work activity. I know, boring. I'm working on that. Thank you for being such an inspiration!Kimberley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944774091932084680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324131567052068334.post-46488810243470915232012-04-21T15:56:34.566-07:002012-04-21T15:56:34.566-07:00Thank you, what centres do you have in your
