Q1: Do you use centers in your classroom? If so, how often? #elmused

mspatricianhfb Jan 17 @ 9:06 PM EST

A1: In grades 1st-3rd, each class has at least one day a month where we do centers #elmused

tracyking Jan 17 @ 9:06 PM EST

#elmused A1 I use centers in my classroom every 4th to 5th class meeting. So almost once a month.

Shawanoe_Music Jan 17 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: I don't use centers very often, typically in first grade, sometimes second, and usually at the end of the year #elmused
