Centers are a great way to get students actively involved in their learning. I'm already noticing that my student's attention span is about 5-6 minutes. That means that I need to try to minimize whole group sitting and listening time. In turn, I want to maximize hands-on, independent learning time. Having students work in centers gives them important independent practice time, and it also allows me to give children more individualized attention as I use this time for students to meet with me in small groups. Instructional learning based on centers allows children to practice and apply the skills they are learning. The activities are designed to reinforce literacy, math, or character skills that children are just beginning to acquire. For example, using the white boards with a phonics activity, the magnetic alphabet or numbers manipulatives, or peer work group activities such as reading books to each other are designed to assist children in their understanding and application of a particular skill, which could be helping the child understand for example the sound the letter ‘s’ makes.
