Alright, let’s talk CENTERS! If you have followed me very long then you have probably seen my Themed Literacy and Math Centers! I have these for K-2! Today I will be sharing an up close look of my K-1 Valentine’s centers! The centers are accompanied with recording sheets and always offer a color and black/white version! I have two sets of centers for each grade level. The difference between the two bundles is the themes covered. The Valentine’s centers are in Set 2 of Kinder and Set 2 of First Grade!
