1: Relevant
I wanted something relevant that students could work on while I was working with small groups - without having to spend a lot of time on my part organizing. This works well. It was time consuming at first to set up the folders (I laminated), but now that it is done there is very little time on my part required. I teach 4th grade and plan on getting the centers for 4th - 5th next year and starting students on 3-4 at the beginning of the year and switching to 4-5 during the 2nd semester. Now I want to try the one for science and the one for geography.

2: EASY TO MAKE
Out of many centers books I've tried, this was by far the quickest and easiest to set up. No coloring, just laminate and cut it out. I'm ordering the math centers, too. A great product I would recommend to any teacher!

3: Teacher Friendly
Definitely worth the money! All the time we spend as teachers, coloring, cutting out, and creating activities is done and bound in a book for us! All you have to do is cut the pieces out! Plus there's an assessment piece with each activity which allows you to check up on students who are working independently!

4: Good Centers for Young Minds
Literacy Centers 3-4 has wonderful independent activities that any teacher can implement during their Independent Work Time (IWT from Open Court). My students love reinforcing learned skills with fun centers.

5: I'm done. What can I do now?
I purchased 5 of these file folder books this summer. I was amazed to see how many of the skills fit into my grade level content expectations! I am very excited to introduce another option for students who need more to do. I have designed a poster so they can keep track of which folders they have already done. I plan to give them "extra" grades for folders completed.
