I’m planning on becoming a teacher as a career changer and videos like this are invaluable to me since I’m not going to do the traditional classroom observations that someone getting an Education degree would do. Thank you for making this 🙏

I love your idea of preparing them ahead of time and walking them through the process. What a great idea!

I have been teaching upper grade for 15 years and will be teaching kinder for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing your centers set up and ideas. I'm excited to see all the possibilities! You have so much energy! 💚

WOW! Love your well thought out centers and how you weave Leader in Me into everything. You should send in your Goal sheets to LIM. They have all the components of setting a great goal with lead measures and tracking all in one!

It's 11 weeks into the school year and I haven't really figured out how I want to do my centers..🤦🏾‍♀️ This was really helpful! Thanks!

love the 1 ring, 2 ring, and 3 ring with centers. Also loved the "ketchup" folders and visual.

I enjoyed the video its nive to see teachers happy about teaching.

Love how you are doing your centers! Just want to make sure I understand. 6 centers a day. 4 days a week. You have to change centers daily then? How do you manage to do this and not leave at 6 every day?

Thank you so much for this! I'm a first year teacher, my student teaching ended halfway through the semester because of COVID. and I have no idea how t each centers to kindergarteners (my student teaching was in 2nd grade). I love the ketchup center and I really like how they have free choice every day but if their work isn't done by Friday they have to do it. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.

your classroom is adorable!

Love your ideas for setting up centers! Thanks so much for sharing!!

This video was so helpful!!!

I'm new to kindergarten and I haven't received much guidance so this is so helpful

Girl. I love your energy!

Great video! Awesome ideas! Grade level change to kindergarten for me this year... which week into the beginning of the school year do you start practicing center rotations? First, second, third week? Thanks🤗

Introduction to centers for teachers developing skills and new practices. New ideas for kindergarten centers; reflection practice for performance. Thank you

Hi! I love how you do centers! I've been doing my centers very close to how you do this year. When you say the kids have to do their 'ketchup' work during free choice on Fridays...what exactly is your free choice time? What do you have available during that time?

I absolutely adore you!

I love your vlogs. I’m a pre-K teacher. Do you have any tips or suggestions of things I can add to my school year to help with their transition to kindergarten

Love, love, love your energy!

I want to teach kindergarten!!! I love your classroom!$

great video. as a new teacher im trying to plan everything out- do you teach lessons to or just do centers all day?

Great tips!! Thank you!!

Thank you for the center help.

Wow Monique! You are inspiring. I have a little challenge with organization in kinder and you just gave me some great tips. I subscribed and allowed notifications.

Amazing job!!!!

Thank you for sharing! How long does each center last?

Wonderful!

Fellow Kinder teacher here! This was extremely helpful. Question: how long do your students work in centers before switching?

@samanthanharrigan

Mine usually work for about 15-20 minutes :)

How do you check thier work if it is an activity that requires manipulative? I have an assistant and right now we do a group of five a piece and the rest do free play until we swap but that's not working. How can I better my center rotation with both of us doing work with a handful of kids too?

Love it!! Great job!

Super helpful! thank you!

Hi! Can you tell me how long each center is? 10-15-20 minutes at each one? Oh, and do you change them out weekly or daily? Thanks!

So, so, so helpful!!! Thank you! Can you do a video on how you introduce your centers?

First of all thank you for sharing! You’re centers seems amazing. Question: how long do you have the kids at each center? Request: Could you right in the description the types of centers?

Wonderful ideas...instead of the bell try a chime with the one silver bar that sits on the wooden holder ..trust me its much more pleasing to the kids ears.

Hello, Thank you for watching. My centers are 15-20 minutes long. I have a total of 6 centers but I only rotate through 3 a day. I recently changed back to this routine because of time. I tried to do all 6 in one day but I felt rushed and although I would love to meet with every guided reading group each day I think 20 minute meaningful small group time is better than 10 minutes rushed. I do centers at the end of the day after all of my whole group instruction.

I love your video and your personality! Two question's though: how do the student know which group they start at each day and who's in their group?

Excellent video!!! You help me a lot!!!

Where do you get your activities for your stem bins?

I love your energy. My sons teachers are nothing like this. They seem to lack any passion and joy.

First time Kindergarten Teacher here!!!

You are precious.

Thank you so much! This helped me so much!

This was SUPER helpful thank you !!

I like how you organize your centers. For the ketchup bins, I saw that you have six bins. How do the children know which bin to place their folder in? Are the six bins according to their groups? Sorry, I am little confused.

I really love this. Unfortunately in my district, so much time must be spent on a math and LA program on the IPad that there isn't time for anything like this.

Hello, how often do you change the activities in the centers? Also, it was recommended to me to introduce two centers at a time. So should I have them practice rotating for a few days and then add actual activities but enough for each student to do? Last year was my first year teaching and I really want to stream line my system. I love the bear prop for the restroom! What kind of work do you give them that would require them to finish in centers? I struggled with making my students accountable during this time. Thank you for the video, it was very helpful!

In my classroom their centers activities change daily. I practice switching through all of my centers but start off with very simple task at each center. I may have play dough at a center, blocks at another just to get the students use to rotating.

HI there, I do each center for 12-15 minutes. I changed from 6 centers to 5 about 3 weeks ago. Last year I had a larger class size so I had to have 6 centers. Having a smaller class this year allowed me to do less groups so that I could meet with the students for a longer period of time.

What are some of the iPad games you’ve downloaded. What do you use for writing.

@itsmoniquesworld

Hello, I do not honestly have any control over the games that are downloaded on our iPads. Tech has to take our iPads and download them so they honestly are not used to their FULL capabilities. There are just tons of free math and reading games. What do you mean what do I use for writing?

What do you use your bell for ?

I love your shirt!! Where can I get one?

I have a question about the return of work finished and the catch up folder. #1 Do they walk to the finished work bin and highlight their name after you ring the first bell then return to their center table before you ring the second bell to rotate? #2 What if yo have two centers with turn in work? Does it get chaotic at the turn in table? #3How do you make a child accountable if they put their work in the finished bin and they didn't finish it?

Hi! This was so helpful. I have one question- you said you circle corrections that need to be made when they turn in their work. When do the students make those corrections? (Does it become homework or do you return them the next day? Etc)

@itsmoniquesworld

They typically correct it when I hand it back to them. I give their work back at the end of the day around free choice / pack up so they correct it then.

Aloha Monique, I have a question about your centers. How many kids per center? How long do centers last? Do the kids work together in a center or is there enough materials for each kid in a group? This is my first year teaching kindergarten and thought this a cool way to help manage my class but donʻt know to much about centers. Mahalo, Keoni
