Station Signs Free Files

 
Station Signs Free Files for your kindergarten classroom!  These will help you manage your center or learning stations!  It is also great for Daily 5!
 
 
How do you get your students up and working in centers quickly?  I used a work board!  We spend the first few weeks learning how to read this board, then the students take care of the rest!
 
First I organize my stations on this pocket chart.  I think they have discontinued this chart but you can find a similar chart HERE.
Station Signs Free Files for your kindergarten classroom. Help manage your center or learning stations with this free printable. Math, literacy, word work too! Great for Daily 5!
 
The blue sign is for my students first center rotation, the yellow sign is for their second center rotation.   Make sense?
 
After their first rotation (20 minutes), I signal my students to return to the carpet.  I like to use a SHORT song to bring them back (a song under 2 minutes).   When students have all returned to the carpet, we have a little time to debrief.   I want to be sure all their centers were put away “neatly and completely” before we go onto the next rotation.  I also want to ask what they did during their center time to be a better reader or writer.   Then the students move onto their second station (yellow).  This allows me time to meet with a small group of students for guided reading.  You can read more about guided reading by clicking HERE.
 
One side held my literacy stations and the other side had my math stations!   Simple!

  47. I love the pocket chart you use to organize your stations. I have a small classroom and have very little space for displaying my literacy and math centers. This might be perfect for me.

  97. DeeDee, yours was one of this first blogs I started following when I started this journey into Kindergarten last year. I have been debating about getting that pocket chart from Really Good Stuff. I've been debating for a whole year now. Guess I should just take the plunge.

    1. Ohh… Thank you! I really like the pocket chart. Having the pockets on both sides works great. I just flip it around mid-day for our math stations.

      I bet there are other pocket charts that would work though.

      Reply

  100. I follow both blogs and utilize many of your products. I have had this chart for a couple years and have needed additional center choices. I am very thankful you are willing to share.

  140. I love your blog! I am moving from 3rd grade to Kindergarten this year–holy moly what a difference! Even my classroom set up is completely different…there isn't a big girl chair to be found in my room! Anyway, thanks for all the freebies! I love them and I have read Debbie Diller's Math and Literacy Stations this summer because of your blog!

    Reply

    1. How fun! I think you have picked some great professional reads!

      I laughed out loud about the chairs. When my husband or son stop by my class, it is hilarious to see their 6+' bodies fold up on those tiny chairs.

      Good luck and let me know if I can help you!
