I love all of your center activities. What is the best you have found to store them? I have tried a few different ways, but wondering if there might even be a better way to do it.
I store the center cards in sandwich bags. I put all the bags in a labeled expandable file folder pocket. I put the pocket file folders in my filing cabinet {4 drawers that are labeled by each 9 weeks}. It works so well!

Anna:
I have been previewing your various math & literacy centers activities on TPT. Your activities look wonderful and seem as thought they would fit into my curriculum perfectly. I currently use the daily five structure and believe I could use a lot of literacy activities during my word work center. My goal this year is to get my students more independent with math and practicing skills they need to master on a daily basis. Could you explain how you implement your math centers. For example, how and when do you teach the kids how to complete each center and how and when do the kids use these centers. I want to work this out for my own classroom before I splurge on MANY of your wonderful center packets. THANK YOU!!
Will you e-mail me at
crazyforfirstgrade@hotmail.com and we can go through how I use my centers?? Thanks so much for your sweet words and interest in my products!! I look forward to hearing from you!!

Hi Anna,
I love your units so much I realized I purchased the same one twice! Is there anything I can do? I accidentally bought your Trick or Treat Packet twice.
Thanks!

Hi Anne,
I LOVE your stuff! I purchased the "Trick or Treat" packet and when I was putting the activities together I noticed there is the number 12 missing from the witches brew center. Is it suppose to be included?
Hey there! I'm so sorry...it was a typo...THANK YOU SO MUCH for pointing it out in such a sweet way! I fixed it and updated the packet! You should get the revision notification:) Let me know if you do not! ~Anna
I looked at your previews and they are amazing! How do you create such colorful and inclusive previews of all your work? I am a "technically challenged" newbie! LOL
Yours are so much more inviting than even Deanna Jump!....oops, I probably shouldn't have said that but you deserve the compliment and I'd love a few pointers on how to do it. Thanks, Steff
