One of the best ways to organize your daily schedule in Kindergarten is to use center rotations. They are an opportunity for students to practice skills both with others and independently. Centers also give teachers a chance to assist students on a more in-depth level using small group lessons. However, setting up and running centers can take some time and effort to be successful. Here's a free guide on how I set up and run centers in Kindergarten.
My favorite part of our day in Kindergarten is our Reading and Math Centers! Centers are the perfect opportunity for your students to grow socially and academically, while learning how to work independently and as a team.
I really look forward to my small group time, as this is where I am able to really work with my students and give them the attention they need. I've had lots of questions on Instagram about how to run centers in Kindergarten, so I am sharing a FREE guide to help you set up and implement centers in your classroom!

That was very helpful! Thank you. I run a home daycare and read all these things about centers but hadn't seen them explained. I have 5 kids ages 2 and 3 so they wouldn't do separate centers but I can at least see how I can adapt this to our day.
