 LOVE IT October 4, 2008
I actually have two copies of this book. I had misplaced my first copy and had to have another one. I use these ideas throughout my kindergarten classroom. It would be even better for first and second grade classrooms. I use the "I Can" lists and management board ideas. This book really helps make centers work. I plan on giving one as a gift any time I have a student teacher. If you can only buy one book, this is the one to buy!
Amazing October 2, 2008
I would recommend Debbie's book to all K-2 teachers! I spent TONS of time making and preparing "centers" during my 1st year of teaching and my students struggled with them. I read Debbie's book and set up my work stations according to her models - not only is it my students' favorite time of the day, but it's mine too! I also spend very little time preparing for work stations as the book explains how to use tasks that are taught during your everyday lessons (this way they easily align with the curriculum)!
I LOVE this book and just can't say enough about it! It has a permanent place on my desk!
Love the Work Stations September 1, 2008
I am a first year teacher learning the ropes. I am finding the work stations very easy to implement and am enjoying the "freedom" to achieve reading level testing at week three of the school year and am looking forward to guided reading group time soon.
Great way to meet all needs! August 31, 2008
I just started to implement this in my classroom (1st grade) for this week with the start of school. The kids were excited to help set up the stations and they were on task when they went to them for the first time. I am excited to differentiate for each child and to see how the students benefit.
Really good too! August 9, 2008
This book as well is a really good book. Debbie Diller is amazing and I recommend all of her books. They have so much good information and have really good pictures from classrooms that I have used to help me with setting up my spaces in my room. Definitely get if you are a teacher.
