What are some of the best centers you have made? Do you have any favorite websites for center ideas? My favorites are:

Thoughtful, creative Kindergarten literacy centers!

A humongous collection of center ideas from Teaching Heart

I love this site and am praying this teacher switches from K to primary grades!!

This is a small site but the ideas are very useful.

Re: Centers

Do you have examples of your choos a charts posted any where on your site? I know you said you aren't using them for homework any more.

Ms. Powell
You've given us so many great ideas, I thought I should finally share one! One of my favorite centers that I made when I was teaching kindergarten was the "Lunch Bunch." I enlarged copies of food clip art (pickles, sandwiches, etc.) from Carson Dellosa and cut each into fractional pieces (1/2, 1/3, 1/4,1/6) after laminating them. I then labeled paper bags with fraction labels. I introduced it in a lesson and then stapled the lunch bags to a bulletin board for center time. They loved it! Thanks for all your hard work!

Re: Centers

I teach 4th grade and would like to implement centers for the last hour of the day this year. I feel the movement and choice factor would help the kids be more excited about that last hour. Any resources for the upper grades would be GREAT!
