Do you struggle with center time? Using centers can be the most rewarding time of the day... but not when you have to spend precious hours each week prepping and getting ready for the centers.

Planning and preparing for math or literacy stations can sometimes consume more time than the actual execution of the centers.
Choosing five centers and KEEPING those five centers all year long will be a huge time-saver. Using NO PREP and LOW PREP activities will save you even more time.
Read this blog post about how to keep literacy centers fun, simple, and easy with just five centers all year long.
This same idea can be used in math centers, no matter what skill or concept you teach.

In the blog posts, I share how I found that five centers in math and five centers in language arts worked best for me. (Believe me; I tried several methods and strategies before I realized I was just making things too hard!)
In addition to using my no-prep centers, I tried to use things already in my classroom. This saved me both time and money.
