Hi everyone! I'm really struggling with my reading centers this year. It has been great trying out the "Literacy Stations" concept where my kids go to 2 centers a day, visit with me and the computer. They work in partners at their 2 centers but travel as a group of 4 or 5 to the computer and to meet with teacher. It is great because they work so much quieter! However, here is my problem. I can only have 5 in a group because I only have 5 computers in my classroom.
In the past, I have had 4 centers a day and they go to each center 4, 5, or 6 in a group. This worked great but it can sometimes get loud and without an aide in my room to help manage, it makes it difficult.
How do you do it?!!?!? Please help me!!!!!

Hello all my bloggy friends! I have my Five for Friday post ready but just need to add pictures to it. That will have to wait til tomorrow. Sorry!
But I would like to ask my friends if you use any online programs for math practice in your classroom. My county used a program called RiverDeep and last year they cancelled the subscription so the lower-grade teachers are stuck without much guidance on what other programs are available for us to use.
Here are some main features I/We really LOVED about RiverDeep and are desperate to find in a different (preferably free) program:
- individual student access
- student progress monitored by teacher
- student progress monitored and level adjusted based on mastery of skills
I (and many of my county collegeues) would LOVE to know if there is/are some additional options out there that we have not experienced yet. I'd love for you to share in the comments but feel free to email me too!!

Happy weekend resting...stay tuned to my Five for Friday tomorrow! :)
