Thank you so much Vanessa! I feel like a star! 🤩. I love your curriculum, it has made my life so easy! 😍 If you aren’t a Trail Blazer you are missing out! 💗
I don’t have a writing/alphabet or math center. I have table toys and incorporate literacy in all centers (paper/pencil and books in every center related to that center). In table toys, I not have about 25 bins of toys (we had to build up to this amount of bins and this particular group of kids does really well with all the options), including math and literacy materials. I don’t have any issue with them playing with the math and literacy toys in that center, even though I have magnatiles and legos out all the time. I also let them know in small group that I will add this game to that center, if I plan to add it. So if they’re into it during small group, I’ll hype it up and say, “I’m adding this to table toys tomorrow, so you can keep playing! Would you like to play with these again tomorrow?” Then I’ll remind them the next day, like the preview Vanessa talked about.

Thank you! We have these manipulatives this year! The students love them! Time to get them back out! 😉
