20 Small Group Center Ideas

SMALL GROUP...  My two most hated words my first 3 years of teaching... the sound of these words together made my stomach turn!  Everyone from coworkers to specialists had the ideas, but the countless hours I spent trying to make these "ideas" and this time engaging for the ENTIRE class was disgusting.

I am so excited to start this new blog!  I have put some serious hours in!  Last year I drew some really cute halloween cuties but with 4 kids under 8 I never got around to posting them.  So I thought I would start this new blog with some Halloween fun!                                                           Click here to buy at my tpt store I was so excited about these cuties I decided to make a few things with them.  I wanted to make these centers 5x7 cards so I could buy one of those super cute photo boxes that everybody is using, but I can't justify the price tag! So for now I think some cute titled envelopes will do. My soon to be 5 year old and I have been getting ready f...
