Getting to the Center(s) of Learning: Primary Literacy Centers an all Group Instruction Tips, Techniques and Interactive Activities- Grade Levels K-2

Workshop given by: Edd Ohlsen a Kindergarten teacher in the William Floyd School District.

As educators we are often faced with the challenge of teaching students in small groups. This leads to the task of deciding what the remainder of the class will be learning and doing during this portion of the day. We know that students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities that are exciting, motivating and fun. This workshop will explore some primary centers that take learning off of a workbook page and into the hands of students. Participants will also receive an online web address and password to download activities that are highlighted during the workshop.

This presenter created literacy centers that were game based and included a lot of visuals (clip art) to each center. He said that this technique helped engage the students in the center at hand and made their motivation grow immensly.
