Sunday Spotlight! Harvest Time Center Activities



Today I'm putting the spotlight on one of my favorite products for fall.  It's on sale for 20% this week.

I especially love this one the week before Thanksgiving break -- when I am getting ready for parent-teacher conferences.  These center activities are the perfect way to keep students meaningfully engaged while I assess individual students.




This set includes everything you need to set up a center routine. 
•5 math centers
•5 ELA centers
•a list of recommended thematic literature and informational text connections
•display cards (to use on your center rotation schedule and materials tubs)
•blank student name cards (for your center rotation schedule)
•student/center rotation tracking form

Each activity comes with...
• cover page
• activity cards
• cards holder label
• directions card
• response worksheet



Next, I'm putting the spotlight on my of my favorite stores!  Check out 3 Sassy Sisters! 


This trio of sisters creates bright, colorful classroom displays, and high quality thematic activities to keep students engaged. I love their stuff! You can follow them on Facebook and at their blog. They are fun, creative, and energetic!

Would you like to join the Sunday Spotlight linky? Hop on over to Countless Smart Cookies. Here's what you do:

Here's how SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT works: 

1. Pick a product to spotlight from your TpT store. Put the products on sale for at least 24 hours. The amount in which you discount is completely up to you. Write a description in your blog post about your product(s)! If you have multiple products you'd like to spotlight, go for it! If you want the product to stay on sale for a longer time, go for that too! 

2. Pick another TPT-er to spotlight! Post a description of their store, put the link of the store/Facebook/blog/any social media site they use to your post. Encourage your readers to follow the teachers you spotlight and leave feedback! We wouldn't be the great teachers we are if we didn't collaborate, right? ;) -RIGHT! What you share with your readers is up to you and the seller! 

Have a great weekend, and enjoy finding some new teacher creators to follow!

Who has time to teach with all this testing? Harvest Time Activities -- Centers with a Purpose!


I've just developed a new fall themed set of literacy and math centers -- Harvest Time Center Activities. The 10 centers are all based on great children's literature, which I have read to the class and then provided to them to read, as well.

Here's an overview of the set. To keep it all organized, I included center display signs and student name tags. That way, I can assign them to the center I want them to work on.  Each activity also include activity cards and storage labels, assembly directions, directions cards, and a student response sheet.












My students are loving these center activities, and I'm loving the enrichment they are getting out of their independent time.  You can find this set here in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.
