• Outline all of the little parts at your centers on construction paper.
• Laminate it and your centers will stay organized and you will know immediately if any pieces are missing.

Students can practice writing letters, numbers, their name, sight words, etc. Or write a word or phrase to help complete their monthly writing page. Click the image to see my Monthly Writing Pages.

• Attach lined dry-erase contact paper to a piece of laminated construction paper.
• Add a strip of numbers or a set of alphabet letters to the top.
• Add dry-erase pens & small erasers and you’re done.

• Cover your easel with a flannel-backed plastic tablecloth. It can be washed or tossed when it gets covered with paint.

   

  Bonus Tips:

• Tired of washing paint brushes? Each night, cover your paints with wet sponges that have a hole poked in the center for the brush handles. The moisture will evaporate, but your paints will stay fresh and won’t dry out.
• Place paint sample cards on a shelf and place matching bottles of paint just above each paint sample card. Just a glance, and you will know which color you’re out of.
• Place a plastic sandwich bag inside each paint cup before filling with paint. They are easy to discard and your paint cups will stay clean. Add a little petroleum jelly to the plastic tops to help make clean-up easier.
