Somewhere along the way, data became a four-letter word. I’m sure it all started back when lawmakers became more focused on test scores and less on students…and High Stakes Testing became the only thing that only mattered… but somewhere along the way, data became a word that was like nails on a chalkboard for teachers.

It tied in nicely with eighth grade because our first novel is To Kill a Mockingbird, and we talk about what it means to walk in someone's shoes. It was a great way to make the connection between themes in our novel and relationship building in the classroom.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Melissa M says, “My students loved using this during one of our class meetings. This was a great way to start the year and discuss ways to remember we each walk a different path each day and to respect that.” You might also like to view these popular seasonal resources:A Backpack All About Me A Cell Phone All About Me A Hoodie All About M View my Back to School Bundles here - save 25% Stay in touch!

So my awesome Peeps have put me in charge of sharing something meaningful with you this week! My class loves center time so I wanted to share just a little about how we rotate centers. This year I am going to split up my literacy & math centers. So I am only going to share about my literacy center rotation today. I have 8 literacy centers. Each child gets to go to 2 centers for 20 minutes each while I am pulling groups. I try to put a higher student or 2 with a lower student. That way if they need help there is usually someone there to help. Also when I pull groups according to reading levels there are still children in the center. I take their pictures on day 1 and print them to use for center groupings. The pictures are put up with sticky tack. So if we need a group swap it's easy to move them. The centers in the middle are on velcro. That way each morning I take the bottom center off and move all the centers down one spot then the groups get 2 new centers each day. How do you swap your centers around? Click below to go grab my center sign freebies. Don't forget to check back next week for a tip from one of my Peeps!
