Literacy Centers for my First Rotation!

Alright!  Here it is!!  This is a sneak peek at my literacy centers for the first rotation of the year. 
At our school we do literacy centers a bit different.  Instead of completely changing things out every week we tend to keep things in longer and just add to it.  That way, if they finish early they still have other activities to review.  So you will see as I post througout the year that some items stay on for a few rotations.  This year I will be having kids go to their literacy centers for 2 rounds each day.  We also have Daily 5 at our school but I am not ready to give up my literacy centers. 
Hopefully this will work out.  I plan on introducing acivities this week during our literacy block and then next week Monday we will be starting our two rounds each day.   I'll let you know how it goes!
