This is amazing! I support teachers across the District with classroom management and I will definitely be sharing this video with some of my new teachers!

Thank you so much!! New to kindergarten and breaking everything down has been a struggle. In week 14 and ready to regroup and reestablish new routines.

This was a very helpful video! Thank you for clarity on how you begin and add things to your centers.

This is by far the best Literacy Centers Launching tutorial I have ever watched. And I watched a lot of them. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am in my second year teaching first grade and you were right, last year I had to do it ALL YEAR because I didn't do it right.

The video has very clear instructions and not a lot of unnecessary jargon. As a special education, this is very helpful. Thank you for the information.

This is exactly what I need! I have looked everywhere of how to start and this is perfect

Great video for how to start centers for Kindergarten. I'm trying something new this year. I did an online course by The Kindergarten Connection, and she taught us about free-flowing centers. So far it seems to be working! I've always used a chart like you and assigned them to a certain center, so it's been a big change for me that I'm not 100% comfortable with yet. It's only Week 3, so we'll see how it goes moving forward.

Love your video explanation. It helps me a lot. Above all the calm pace you transmit.

So helpful! I can’t wait to try with my kindergarteners!
Question: how long are they at the center before they hear the bell ring to clean up before they rotate?

[nicolemerrill]

Thank you for this video. Are you willing to share the center icons that you have for use on your "old fashioned" calendar? It would be nice to have the ones that are just the right size, as I have some of those calendars that would work perfectly.

At the start of the day, will you teach a new topic commonly, then they will work on their centers or teach in small groups only?

[kentarmstrong]

Great video, lots of good stuff. many students would you have per group?
