Every Thursday the second grade class works in five centers around the classroom. Centers are small group areas in which each student works on a different skill. A good example of centers that we use are: an individual writing center at desks, listening to books on tape, and reading in a small group with a teacher. For the past few Thursdays, the second graders have been using a new, very exciting center - an iPad center!! Each child gets a chance to work with a partner on building words or connecting sounds to letters. I have been very impressed with how quickly the students in this classroom have learned to use the iPads appropriately and carefully. Ask your son or daughter which iPad app they worked on this week in centers!
