Teachers

help! I am taking over the classroom next week ( Iam a student teacher) I need some ideas for fall centers and any dittos for morning work!!! (2nd grade)!!!! Thanks!

You should try to pick up one of the Mailbox resource books. They have monthly books as well as a book for centers that has patterns and everything(I have mine at work otherwise I'd be able to give you some ideas from it). Hmmm for the centers maybe you can go with a fall theme (pumpkins, leaves, candycorn). What kind of skills are you working on? You can make a word problem center, problem and solution, compound words, punctuation, place value...there are so many things that can be pretty easy to make with a few cut-outs, clear contact paper, and dry-erase markers or coordinating worksheets! Good luck and FM if you have any questions...I teach 3rd grade but taught 2nd for a couple of years. Student teaching is so much fun...enjoy it!

I taught second for a few years.

You can have a dictionary center, a poem center where they copy the poem and illustrate it, a writing center w/ construction paper & various other paper to write stories or cards or draw a picture & story.

This is a great site:
