Klakers

This document has book basket labels for three broad categories (books by certain authors, books by genre, and books by topics). I mount all of the books by authors on pink paper, the genre cards on black paper, and books by topic on orange paper. I get them all laminated, punch two holes in the top and use cable ties to secure them to my book baskets (some of my labels are just taped onto the cardboard magazine boxes rather than laminated and hole punched).

My students do weekly literacy centers that they rotate through. This is a checklist I developed so students would know how many times they were expected to go to each center during a week. Each student had a copy of this in a plastic sheet protector in their center binder and would use a Vis-a-Vis marker to initial when they finished a center. I would also give the student choice centers during the week that they could do when they finished other centers.
