Yesterday was a dark cloudy afternoon. I decided to try to get something accomplished. I am going to try out math centers for the first time this year, so I've been brainstorming some ideas for early in the year activities for these centers.
I was inspired by the pencil clipart I saw in
Krista Wallden's back to school pack. I know my students will enjoy measuring, ordering by length, adding, subtracting, ordering numbers and counting on with these bright colored pencils. I'd like to have 5-6 math centers going at a time since I am anticipating close to 24 students. My goal is to eventually have 1 activity for each set of standards.

I love that you have the kids measure different colors of pencils (sneaking in some color word practice too...) I did start math centers last year, but I am anxious to add many more!GrowinginPreK@gmail.com
