My scholars have loved our literacy center materials, literacy and math enrichment activities from Teachers Pay Teachers thanks to you all. We now have five literacy centers rotating during our center time to support what they have learned during phonics. Scholars are now being challenged during math lessons. Scholars are also having so much fun while learning. The centers varies from practicing writing high frequency words and complete sentences to activities where they are manipulating and changes words. Due to these center activities, scholars also have the chance to work together and learn from one another.
