In this split session, you will start your day with a review of early literacy learning centers. These center activities are taken from the Florida Center for Reading Research. The evidence-based practices will be shared in a hands-on learning approach. You will experience 21 literacy centers and then 'Take and Make' these center activities at a later time. In the afternoon session, you will learn how to use items purchased from the dollar store to create learning centers for your students struggling with math to practice their skills. Using items from the dollar store paired with manipulatives and resources already in the classroom, teachers will learn how to quickly set up and take down centers to support their math instruction. These centers can also be used for a family math night or for a school-wide "math day." All centers are correlated with the Math TEKS and are appropriate for children in general, special education, and bilingual settings. The materials presented are available in English and in Spanish. (Participants, please wear comfortable clothing such as loose stretch pants, t-shirt, and sneakers. There will be some stooping, bending, and possibly some work on the floor. Accommodations will be made for anyone with limited mobility.)
